Objective  The recent coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) has severely increased the burden on the field of oncology, leading to the implementation of new rules to overcome its negative impact. An important issue is the psychological impact of the pandemic on already vulnerable populations, such as oncology staff, as reported by oncology associations.  This study assessed the anxiety level among oncology staff during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and related it to its risk factors and the effectiveness of departmental interventions that seek to provide coping methods.  Methods  A cross-sectional survey was administered to the oncology staff at our oncology center. Generalized anxiety disorder scale “yes-or-no” questions were used to determine secondary objectives regarding the concern of infection and the impact of a departmental intervention on overcoming distress.  Results  Overall, 199 participants were included in the analysis; more than 60% were women, with a median age of 34 years. More than 50% had anxiety and the most significant risk factors were parenthood and contraction of infection (P-value 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). Most responders reported an increase in the workload during the pandemic, but coping methods applied by the administration had improved anxiety levels as reported by a majority of the responders.  Conclusion  Oncology staff members have been negatively affected by the pandemic, although coping methods helped to improve anxiety. In the future, attention must be focused on the most vulnerable groups.
