The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has worsened the physical and mental health
of the general population. Healthcare workers have a high risk of suffering a mental
disorder after the first wave. In this way, psychologists, who deal with mental health
issues and are considered as healthcare workers in many countries, are of interest
in this context. The present study aimed to examine anxiety, depression, stress, and
obsessions and compulsions across psychologists, healthcare professionals, and the
general community. These variables were measured through the Depression, Anxiety,
and Stress Scale (DASS-21), as well as the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS), which are related to different sociodemographic variables. The study was carried
out after the first wave in Spain through an online questionnaire. Structural equation
modeling and a multigroup analysis were carried out across the groups and variables
under study. The results suggested that; (i) healthcare workers and general community
depicted similar results in anxiety and stress, as well as obsessions; (ii) the group of
psychologists depicted better scores than the other groups under study; (iii) stress and
anxiety did not predict compulsions in the group of psychologists; (iv) anxiety predicted
obsessions for all the professions, while the relationship of this variable with stress was
different for each group; and (v) invariance reached a full metric level. [-]
