We assess the symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia in the medical workers and the effect of social support in China during COVID-19 Epidemic. Methods: We conducted this study was conducted with online questionnaire on a social networking software, Wechat, within one week from the 9. Until 15 February 2020. February 2020.

We believe that the medical workers, as the most important force in the fight against the epidemic, bear great responsibility and risks, which is likely to cause psychological problems of medical workers. And we have many large epidemiological studies have shown that medical workers different psychological distress suffered during and after the outbreak of SARS. But if we searched PubMed on Feb 09, 2020, without date restrictions, the concepts of "mental health", "medical workers", "COVID-19", "fear", "depression", "Insomnia" and "local" social support for articles in English, we have no reports of psychological status of medical workers during the novel corona virus epidemic in China. Added value of this study our study has shown that there are different levels of anxiety, depression, insomnia and other symptoms among the medical staff throughout the country during the COVID-19 epidemic, and brought some influencing factors and protective factors these symptoms. The Chinese government has already psychological crisis intervention in the overall concept for the prevention and control of epidemic, but there are no epidemiological data on the psychological problems of medical workers in this disease. Our study fills the gap in the epidemiology survey on the mental state of medical workers during the epidemic and provides the basis for further measures. Ichmplications of all documents our study is conducive to the further development of the psychological intervention during this epidemic, and provides a basis for the psychological intervention for the next possible outbreak. 1.
