For the research purposes, the CATI technique was applied with a Likert scale-based questionnaire. Findings: The research findings outline the work environments of healthcare professionals during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and their effects on the sense of security. Research limitations/implications: Due to the period of the research conduct, its results have a unique quality and enable depicting the current situation and problems of the medical community as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
