OBJECTIVE
To explore mortality rates and trends according to the occupation of healthcare workers who died from the deaths of despair (DoD).
METHODS
Death certificates for deaths from 2011 to 2015 due to poisonings, suicides, alcholic liver disease and cirrhosis were collected and coded based on the decedent's occupation. Mortality rates and rate ratios were calculated according to occupations for healthcare workers.
RESULTS
There were 540 DoDs among Massachusetts healthcare workers, accounting for an average annual rate of 32.4 deaths per 100,000 workers. The highest mortality rate for DoDs were among medical assistants; nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides; miscellaneous; health technologists and technicians; emergency medical technicians, and paramedics.
CONCLUSIONS
Further research should examine factors contributing to elevated rates for DoDs among healthcare workers. Interventions targeted for these workers should be developed.
目的
根据因绝望而死（DoD）而死亡的医护人员的职业，探讨死亡率和趋势。
方法
收集并根据死者的职业，对 2011 年至 2015 年因中毒、自杀、酒精性肝病和肝硬化导致的死亡证明进行编码。根据职业计算医护人员的死亡率和比率。
结果
马萨诸塞州的医护人员中有 540 例因 DoD 而死亡，平均每年每 10 万名工人中有 32.4 人死亡。DoD 的死亡率最高的是医疗助理；护理、精神科和家庭保健助手；杂项；卫生技术人员和技术员；急救医疗技术员和护理人员。
结论
应进一步研究导致医护人员因 DoD 而死亡的比率升高的因素。应针对这些工人制定干预措施。
