Se observó asociación entre los niveles de ansiedad y depresión con la mayor parte de las características sociodemográficas estudiadas, exceptuando los casos del turno laboral e inquietud para la ansiedad y área hospitalaria y turno laboral con la depresión (p>0.05). A menor edad y antigüedad laboral, mayor es el nivel de ansiedad y, se identificó este mismo comportamiento solo con la edad para la depresión (p0.05). CONCLUSIONES: Estos profesionales tuvieron mínimos procesos ansiosos y depresivos. La vacunación anticovid-19 se considera parteaguas en la disminución de la depresión y ansiedad. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To analyze the level of depression and anxiety in nursing professionals assigned to the hospital reconversion areas during the care of patients with COVID-19 at the Regional High Specialty Hospital (HRAE) in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico, in 2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional-descriptive-correlational research. 160 nurses participated voluntarily. A sociodemographic data form, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the Adult Manifest Anxiety Scale (AMAS-A) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, as well as inferential statistics (Chi-square, Spearman's Rho, and Brown-Mood Median Test), were used. RESULTS: 86.9% were nurses. 83.8% presented minimal depression. Regarding anxiety levels, 8.1% showed a significant level and 3.8% an extreme level. An association was observed between anxiety and depression levels and most of the sociodemographic characteristics studied, except for work shifts and anxiety, and hospital area and work shifts for depression (p>0.05). The younger the age and job seniority, the higher the anxiety level, and this same pattern was only found with age for depression (p0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These professionals had minimal anxiety and depressive processes. COVID-19 vaccination is considered a turning point in the reduction of depression and anxiety.
