To describe nurses' mental health status during the Covid-19 outbreak and to explore the factors that might accentuate the negative consequences on their mental health.
We conducted an online survey to evaluate demographic variables, working conditions, family dynamics, and mental health variables in nurses working in healthcare settings, in Portugal, during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Portuguese nurses presented higher depression, anxiety and stress levels, when compared to the Portuguese general population, during the outbreak. Overall, nurses who did not consider the quantity and quality of personal protective equipment as adequate presented significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Our results suggest that nurses' mental health status seems to be particularly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and that some modifiable elements might accentuate the impacts on their mental health.
描述新冠疫情期间护士的心理健康状况,并探讨可能加重其心理健康不良后果的因素。
我们开展了一项在线调查,评估在新冠疫情期间于葡萄牙医疗机构工作的护士的人口统计学变量、工作条件、家庭动态和心理健康变量。
与葡萄牙普通人群相比,新冠疫情期间葡萄牙护士的抑郁、焦虑和压力水平更高。总体而言,不认为个人防护设备的数量和质量足够的护士表现出更高水平的抑郁、焦虑和压力。
我们的结果表明,护士的心理健康状况似乎受到新冠疫情的严重影响,而一些可改变的因素可能会加重其心理健康的不良影响。
