Elde edilen bulgular sonucundaAzerbaycan’daki sağlık çalışanlarının büyük çoğunluğunun kendilerini risk altında gördükleri tespitedilmiştir. Ayrıca, katılımcıların kaygı düzeylerinin oldukça yüksek olduğu ve bu durumun azaltılması içinçalışma ortamları iyileştirilmesi ve salgına maruz kalma riskiniin en aza indirilmesi gerektiği önerilmektedir.Pandemi ile mücadelede sağlık çalışanlarının Çin, Almanya, Azerbaycan ve Türkiye'yi başarılı, İtalya, İran,İspanya ve ABD'yi başarısız olarak gördüğü tespit edilmiştit.
