Abstract

Health emergency personnel in Castilla y León have been part of the first line of care in the COVID-19 pandemic, being one of the groups most exposed to contagion. Determining the degree of self-efficacy that these workers perceive of themselves gives us an idea of their ability to adapt and cope with this adverse event. The aim of the study was to establish the level of self-efficacy perception in healthcare professionals of the Gerencia de Emergencias Sanitarias de Castilla y León during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the relationship of self-efficacy with other variables. The methodology used was quantitative and descriptive through surveys. The sample of volunteers is 253 participants. Out-of-hospital professionals obtain a mean score in their level of self-efficacy of 72.36 ± 15.80. A higher score is observed in older professionals, with greater professional experience in the extra-hospital setting, who work in direct care with patients, who have not previously received psychological treatment or who have received some dose of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine Theself-efficacy of out-of-hospital professionalsis good, finding factorsrelated to a higher or lower level. These results show the ability of these professionals to adapt to adverse situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
