One thousand five hundred and forty-seven psychotherapists participated in an online survey, assessing stress [Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10)], work-related worries and fears of existence [Job Anxiety Scale (JAS)], fear of COVID-19 infection during face-to-face psychotherapy, and adherence to five protective measures against COVID-19 infection during face-to-face psychotherapy. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the stress-level, degree of job-related worries and fears of existence, as well as fear of COVID-19 infection in psychotherapists in the early weeks of the COVID-19 outbreak in Austria. Table 2 shows the means and SDs. Between psychotherapists treating only face-to-face (n = 31), face-to-face as well as via teletherapy (telephone or internet, n = 618), only via teletherapy (telephone or internet, n = 793), or not at all (n = 105) in the early weeks of the COVID-19 lockdown, stress-levels, F(3, 1,543) = 1.462, p = 0.223, and job-related worries and fears of existence, F(3, 1,543) = 0.304, p = 0.823, did not differ. ./cache/cord-332420-9vyik2e9.txt ./txt/cord-332420-9vyik2e9.txt
