Summary

A new pandemic appeared in early 2020, also known as the coronavirus (Covid-19), affecting all health systems worldwide. Medical and nursing staff make every effort to treat patients resulting in physical and psychological exhaustion, which is exacerbated by the lack of medical and nursing staff, the lack of protective equipment, the increased workload, and increased shifts.

In this context, the surgeons had to contribute in turn, in order to help as much as they could in dealing with this new health crisis, as a result of which they find themselves in positions that are not on their subject or in their proper training and to handle patients with a dangerous and highly aggressive respiratory infection. This brought more psychological and physical stress to the surgeons. The pandemic of Covid-19 is not known to be a purely surgical condition, but many patients with coronavirus require surgery due to an additional infection, condition, or complication.

The design of this research will be observational and quantitative. Quantitative design involves the provision of numerically coded and analytical measurements, such as self-report questionnaires.

The purpose of this cross-sectional research is primarily to record the levels of stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms of Greek surgeons, and their lifestyle. Secondary to correlate the stress levels with socio-demographic data and their lifestyle with other parameters of the study.
