Objective: The current study evaluated the association between symptoms of anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and sex (male vs female) in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru. Methods: Two hospitals in the Peruvian city of Arequipa were the site of this cross-sectional investigation. Healthcare professionals made up the participants. We used the Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Screen for DSM-5, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scales to administer a questionnaire that included sociodemographic data. The primary results were the ratings for PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Sex was the topic of interest. We utilized linear regression to determine the crude and adjusted coefficients, together with their corresponding confidence intervals at 95% (CI 95%), for the scale scores, which were obtained using the medians and percentiles 25–75 (p25–p75). Results: The study included 109 participants, and 43.1% were women. The anxiety, depression, and PTSD median (p25–p75) scores in the study population were 6 (2–11), 6 (2–10), and 1 (0–3), respectively. The adjusted analysis showed that the female sex had 4.48 (CI 95% 2.95–6.00), 4.50 (CI 95% 2.39–6.62), and 1.13 (CI 95% 0.50–1.76) higher points on average for the scales of anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms in comparison to males, respectively. Conclusions: Female health-care workers showed increased scores of mental health issues in comparison to male health-care workers.
