To assess maternal and neonatal healthcare workers (HCWs) perspectives on well-being and patient safety amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anonymous survey of HCW well-being, burnout, and patient safety over the prior conducted in June 2020. Results were analyzed by job position and burnout status.
We analyzed 288 fully completed surveys. In total, 66% of respondents reported symptoms of burnout and 73% felt burnout among their co-workers had significantly increased. Workplace strategies to address HCW well-being were judged by 34% as sufficient. HCWs who were "burned out" reported significantly worse well-being and patient safety attributes. Compared to physicians, nurses reported higher rates of unprofessional behavior (37% vs. 14%, p = 0.027) and difficulty focusing on work (59% vs. 36%, p = 0.013).
Three months into the COVID-19 pandemic, HCW well-being was substantially compromised, with negative ramifications for patient safety.
评估 COVID-19 大流行期间孕产妇和新生儿医护人员(HCWs)的幸福感和患者安全状况。
2020 年 6 月对 HCW 幸福感、倦怠和患者安全状况进行的匿名调查。根据工作岗位和倦怠状况分析结果。
我们分析了 288 份完整的调查问卷。总共有 66%的受访者报告有倦怠症状,73%的人认为同事的倦怠感明显增加。34%的人认为解决 HCW 幸福感的工作场所策略足够。“倦怠”的 HCWs 报告的幸福感和患者安全状况明显更差。与医生相比,护士报告的不专业行为发生率更高(37%比 14%,p=0.027),难以专注于工作的比例也更高(59%比 36%,p=0.013)。
在 COVID-19 大流行三个月后,HCW 的幸福感受到了严重影响,对患者安全产生了负面影响。
