الوصف: (1) Background: The aim of the current study is to identify the relations between worries, threat perceptions, anxiety states, and general health in a sample of Emergency unit staff during the Russian Ukrainian armed conflict. The sample consisted of 372 Emergency Care staff (M age = 39.41; 77.2% women), physicians, and nurses from North-eastern Romania. (2) Methods: Participants completed an online survey including scale measuring worries, recent anxiety symptoms, and general health. The survey was distributed and completed in the next month after the outbreak of the war. (3) Results: The results showed that the worries, perceived threats, and anxiety symptoms during the last period are negatively related to general health. Women presented higher levels of worries, perceived threats, and anxiety symptoms, compared to men, while for general health, women presented lower scores. Concerning the differences between different professional categories, the results showed that trainees presented higher scores on worries, perceived threats, and anxiety symptoms, as well as lower scores on general health. The implications of these results for improving health and quality of life are discussed. (4) Conclusions: The level of stress increases beyond the borders where the war takes place, thus indirectly affecting the Emergency Care staff involved in the care of victims. Clinical implications of these results for interventions designed to monitor quality of life and to prevent unwanted consequences of exposure to traumatic life events are discussed.
