COVID-19 significantly altered our routine, lifestyle, and stress level across the globe. This study investigated the psychological impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers in China Xi'an Center hospital.
A modified online questionnaire of Psychological Status and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was provided to 1,967 healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participation was voluntary, and the responses were anonymous. The survey lasted for 2 weeks, and the GHQ-12 was completed every other day. The data were collected automatically and electronically and then statistically analyzed.
The 431 (21.9%) responders included 214 nurses (49.7%), 146 clinicians (33.9%), 29 pharmacists (6.7%), 15 medical technicians (3.5%), 17 administrative staff (3.9%), and 10 other departments (2.3%). Of these, 46.2% had 10 years of work experiences or more and 78.2% were married. Work experience increased emotional stress as 23% of participants with 10 years or more of experience exhibited higher stress compared to those with fewer than 3 years of work experience (7.5%). Moreover, 33.3% of participants who worked in or were exposed to the affected areas of the pandemic experienced psychological stress. Overall, this study identified four factors that were significantly associated with psychological stress: (a) work experience (OR 2.99; 95% CI: 1.06 to 8.41); (b) change in job position (OR 1.99; 95% CI: 1.10 to 3.59); (c) change in lifestyle (OR 4.06; 95% CI: 1.81 to 9.10); and (d) need for psychological counseling (OR 3.07; 95% CI: 1.62 to 5.82).
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased psychological stress among healthcare workers with 10 years or more work experiences and who recently experienced a career position change.
COVID-19 极大地改变了我们在全球范围内的日常生活、生活方式和压力水平。本研究调查了 COVID-19 对中国西安中心医院医务人员的心理影响。
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，向 1967 名医护人员提供了经过修改的在线心理状态问卷和一般健康问卷（GHQ-12）。参与是自愿的，回答是匿名的。调查持续了两周，每隔一天完成一次 GHQ-12。数据自动和电子收集，然后进行统计分析。
431 名（21.9%）应答者包括 214 名护士（49.7%）、146 名临床医生（33.9%）、29 名药剂师（6.7%）、15 名医疗技术人员（3.5%）、17 名行政人员（3.9%）和 10 名其他部门（2.3%）。其中，46.2%的人有 10 年或以上的工作经验，78.2%的人已婚。工作经验增加了情绪压力，因为 23%的有 10 年或以上工作经验的参与者比工作经验少于 3 年的参与者（7.5%）表现出更高的压力。此外，33.3%的参与者在疫情受影响地区工作或接触过疫情地区，经历过心理压力。总的来说，本研究确定了四个与心理压力显著相关的因素：（a）工作经验（OR 2.99；95%CI：1.06 至 8.41）；（b）工作岗位变化（OR 1.99；95%CI：1.10 至 3.59）；（c）生活方式变化（OR 4.06；95%CI：1.81 至 9.10）；和（d）心理咨询需求（OR 3.07；95%CI：1.62 至 5.82）。
COVID-19 大流行增加了 10 年或以上工作经验和最近经历过职业岗位变化的医护人员的心理压力。
