Methods and Materials: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2016.

Moreover, the standard questions of Reef (2002) Psychological Welfare Questionnaire including 54 questions and Coronary Anxiety Scale (CDAS) in the Iranian sample that contained 18 questions were answered by participants. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS software. Results: The results showed that there was no significant relationship between psychological well-being and anxiety at the level of 0.5. Examining the relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety in different sections, the results showed that the relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety in health workers was R = 0.98 (P = 0.002) and 96% of health workers’ anxiety changes were due to psychological well-being changes. Furthermore, 98% of the changes in pharmacy staff anxiety were due to changes in their psychological well-being (R = 0.988 and P = 0.12). There was no significant relationship between psychological well-being and corona virus anxiety among male and female employees and the mean of psychological well-being was significantly different between men and women. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the findings, the relationship between psychological well-being and anxiety status was not significant at the 0.5 level.
