The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression.Statistical Analysis Used: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 150 patients with Covid-19 admitted. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as t‑test, Chi‑square, Fisher, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression test.Results: The mean score of patients’ anxiety was 6.83 ± 5.16, and the mean score of depression was 7.09 ± 4.37. According to the multiple linear regression test, depression with standard (ß =0.53) and with standard (ß =0.21) explore 42% of variance of anxiety. Anxiety (=0.56), temperature (=0.2), anorexia (=0.18), and respiratory rate (=0.12) explore 45% of variance of depression, respectively.Conclusion: The results of this study indicated a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients with corona disease.
