Since the outbreak of COVID-19, physical and psychological harm has been spreading across the global population alongside the spread of the virus. Currently, the novel coronavirus has spread to most countries in the world, and its impact on the public is also increasing. As a high-risk group in direct contact with the virus, medical workers should be monitored, and their mental health deserves extensive attention. The aim of this study was to explore the mental health of medical workers facing the novel coronavirus and the main factors affecting it. : The present cross-sectional study including 2,100 eligible individuals from 1,050 hospitals in China was conducted through the network platform powered by www.wjx.cn, a platform providing functions equivalent to Amazon Mechanical Turk. We used a self-designed questionnaire to collect demographic information and data on mental states, including gender, age (years), educational level, job rank, body and mind reaction, cognition of risk, and the judgment of the epidemic situation. Independent samples -tests and one-way (ANOVA) analysis were carried out to compare the differences in the mental reactions according to the demographic and psychological states of the participants. : There were 502 males (23.9%) and 1,598 females (76.1%). The participants reported feeling calm (39.1%), tense (63.0%), scared (31.4%), angry (18.8%), sad (49.0%), afraid (34.7%), optimistic (5.1%), impressed (65.0%), and confident (31.1%) during the epidemic. At the same time, the psychological stress responses of medical staff were significantly different according to the levels of exposure in their environments, duration and personal experience. : Prolonged exposure to the virus and intense work are detrimental to the mental health of medical care personnel. It is necessary to adjust work conditions and intensity according to workers' mental state flexibly and systematically.
自新冠疫情爆发以来,身体和心理伤害随着病毒的传播在全球人群中蔓延。目前,新型冠状病毒已传播至世界上大多数国家,其对公众的影响也在增加。作为直接接触病毒的高危群体,医护人员应受到监测,他们的心理健康值得广泛关注。本研究的目的是探讨面对新型冠状病毒的医护人员的心理健康状况及其主要影响因素。:本横断面研究通过由www.wjx.cn提供支持的网络平台进行,该平台具有与亚马逊土耳其机器人等效的功能,共纳入了来自中国1050家医院的2100名符合条件的个体。我们使用自行设计的问卷收集人口统计学信息和心理状态数据,包括性别、年龄(岁)、教育程度、职称、身心反应、风险认知以及对疫情的判断。进行独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析以比较参与者根据人口统计学和心理状态的心理反应差异。:男性502名(23.9%),女性1598名(76.1%)。参与者报告在疫情期间感到平静(39.1%)、紧张(63.0%)、害怕(31.4%)、愤怒(18.8%)、悲伤(49.0%)、恐惧(34.7%)、乐观(5.1%)、印象深刻(65.0%)和自信(31.1%)。同时,医护人员的心理应激反应根据其所处环境的暴露程度、持续时间和个人经历水平存在显著差异。:长时间接触病毒和高强度工作对医护人员的心理健康有害。有必要根据工作人员的心理状态灵活且系统地调整工作条件和强度。
