To determine the association between access to adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) and mental health outcomes among a sample of U.S. nurses.
An online questionnaire was administered in May 2020 to Michigan nurses via three statewide nursing organizations (n = 695 respondents). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with mental health symptoms.
Nurses lacking access to adequate PPE (24.9%, n = 163) were more likely to report symptoms of depression (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.31, 2.94; P = 0.001), anxiety (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.12, 2.40; P = 0.01) and post-traumatic stress disorder (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.22, 2.74; P = 0.003).
Healthcare organizations should be aware of the magnitude of mental health problems among nurses and vigilant in providing them with adequate PPE as the pandemic continues.
在美国护士样本中，确定获得足够的个人防护设备 (PPE) 与心理健康结果之间的关联。
2020 年 5 月，通过三个全州性护理组织（n=695 名受访者）向密歇根州护士发放在线问卷。使用多变量逻辑回归分析来确定与心理健康症状相关的因素。
缺乏足够 PPE（24.9%，n=163）的护士更有可能报告抑郁症状（OR 1.96，95%CI 1.31，2.94；P=0.001）、焦虑（OR 1.64，95%CI 1.12，2.40；P=0.01）和创伤后应激障碍（OR 1.83，95%CI 1.22，2.74；P=0.003）。
随着大流行的继续，医疗保健组织应该意识到护士心理健康问题的严重程度，并警惕地为他们提供足够的 PPE。
