AB Healthcare professionals who work in front-line situations are among those under thehighest risk of presenting negative mental health indicators. We sought to assess the prevalence of lowpersonal realization, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization as well as probable non-psychoticpsychiatric pathologies during the pandemic in nursing assistants in the city of Huelva (Spain), and tostudy the association between these mental health indicators and sociodemographic and professionalvariables. A cross-sectional descriptive investigation with a quantitative approach was used. Arepresentative sample of these professionals, consisting of 29 men and 284 women, completed theGHQ-12 questionnaire, including sociodemographic data and the MBI-HSS questionnaire, collectinginformation on situations of contact with SARS-CoV-2. Data analysis was conducted, and correlationswere established. We found that emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and probable non-psychotic,psychiatric pathologies were related to contact with SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, personal realization,depersonalization and emotional exhaustion were related to just gender. We conclude that nursingassistants from public hospitals in the city of Huelva who had contact with patients with SARS-CoV-2in the workplace, showed poor mental health indicators than those who did not come into contactwith infected individuals
