The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health emergency that has affected health professionals around the world, causing physical and mental exhaustion with a greater probability of developing mental disorders in professionals who provide healthcare.
The objective of this study was to know the psychological impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the nursing professionals working for the Rioja Health Service.
We conducted an observational and descriptive cross-sectional study. The nursing staff at the Rioja Health Service were invited to respond to a self-administered questionnaire between June and August 2020.
A total of 605 health professionals participated in the questionnaire; 91.9% were women, 63.14% were registered nurses, and 36.28% were auxiliary nurses. Risk factors for mental health professionals were identified in more than 90% of nurses ( = 0.009), affecting their psychological state with feelings of exhaustion, emotional overload ( = 0.002), and less use of coping strategies among women. Younger professionals with less experience had higher levels of stress compared to those with more than five years of experience, who showed a progressive reduction in the impact of stressors ( < 0.001). Professionals with dependent family members presented higher levels of emotional overload and coping problems ( = 0.009).
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant psychological impact on health professionals in terms of stress, emotional well-being, and the use of coping strategies. Female health professionals with dependents, a temporary contract, and less work experience have been more psychologically affected.
COVID-19 大流行是一场全球公共卫生紧急事件，影响了世界各地的卫生专业人员，使他们身心疲惫，从事医疗保健工作的专业人员更有可能患上精神障碍。
本研究旨在了解 SARS-CoV-2 病毒对里奥哈卫生局护理专业人员的心理影响。
我们进行了一项观察性和描述性的横断面研究。邀请里奥哈卫生局的护理人员在 2020 年 6 月至 8 月期间回答一份自我管理问卷。
共有 605 名卫生专业人员参与了问卷调查；91.9%为女性，63.14%为注册护士，36.28%为助理护士。超过 90%的护士（ = 0.009）存在心理健康专业人员的风险因素，这影响了他们的心理状态，导致疲惫感、情绪过载（ = 0.002），以及女性使用应对策略减少。与拥有超过五年工作经验的人相比，经验较少的年轻专业人员压力水平更高，而后者的压力源影响呈逐渐降低趋势（ < 0.001）。有家属依赖的专业人员表现出更高的情绪过载和应对问题水平（ = 0.009）。
COVID-19 大流行对卫生专业人员的心理造成了重大影响，表现在压力、情绪健康和应对策略的使用方面。有家属依赖、临时合同和较少工作经验的女性卫生专业人员受到的心理影响更大。
