Article Abstract
Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing personnel presented a higher prevalence of fear of contagion, anxiety symptoms, depression, and burnout syndrome. However, the variables associated with these conditions in Mexico are unknown.
Objective: To determine the clinical, sociodemographic, and psychological variables associated with fear of contracting COVID-19 and burnout syndrome in nursing personnel.
Methods: The study was a cross-sectional correlational study. It included 423 Mexican nursing professionals, working in public and private institutions, of different specialties aged 18-61 years ( = 36 years), the sampling was non-probabilistic by convenience. The instruments used were: COVID-19 fear scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to analyse the results.
Results: The factors associated with fear of contagion were anxiety symptoms (Odds Ratio [OR]: 7.806, < 0.05), caring for patients with COVID-19 (OR: 5.460, < 0.05, 0.001) and mild emotional exhaustion (OR: 5.181, < 0.05). The syndrome dimensions were: depressive symptoms (OR: 12.062; 7.667, < 0.05), fear of contagion (OR: 4.978; 4.913; 4.921; 4.921, < 0.01), marital status (OR: 3.404; 3.219, < 0.05) and young age (OR: 1.064; 1.084, < 0.05).

Emotional contagion occurs in many animals, including rodents. To determine the social signals of emotional state-matching between individuals in mice, we conducted an empirical laboratory experiment using visual, olfactory and auditory stimuli. The Japanese wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) was tested as observers, since our initial experiments indicated that MSM mice showed higher sensitivity to others' pain compared with the laboratory strain C57BL/6J (B6).
