Resumo: Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused countless fatalities around the world. It not only threatens the individual’s physical sphere, but it can also generate significant psychological illness in the population, mainly due to the fear of contracting the disease. Objective: To evaluate the correlation of fear of COVID-19 with the anxious and depressive symptoms of Family Medicine residents in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza, Brazil. Methods: An analytical, correlational, cross-sectional and quantitative study was carried out, in which the participants answered an electronic form containing a questionnaire developed by the authors and the instruments Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Brazilian version of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (EMC-19). Results: The research had 50 participants. We verified that 52% of residents had anxiety symptoms, 36% had depressive symptoms; and 22% were moderately to very afraid of the disease. The highest fear averages were for residents who were already treating psychological disorders and for residents who started treatment during the pandemic. Conclusions: The study showed a relevant percentage of anxiety and depression symptoms, in addition to showing a direct association between these symptoms and fear of COVID-19. In conclusion, we emphasize that the pandemic context requires greater attention to the circumstances of the mental health of Family Medicine residents, seeking to propose coping measures that are more resolute to the problem.
