During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals are taking the risk of becoming infected or infecting their families. Spain is the country with the highest number of infected healthcare professionals worldwide. Our aim was to study the attitudes and beliefs of these professionals during the current pandemic. Descriptive study conducted by using an online questionnaire-based on an earlier one-which was sent to healthcare professionals at the national level, during the week March 20-27, 2020. Healthcare professionals returned 971 completed questionnaires. A total of 803 (82.7%) participants thought that they did not have suitable PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment) to protect them from infection with COVID-19. In addition, even 229 (23.58%) agreed to go on working even if they were not. In spite of this, 606 (62.4%) of them were ready to work, even with a higher-than-usual risk of becoming infected at work and getting ill. Remarkably high professional commitment has been observed among Spanish healthcare workers in the current pandemic. They were ready to work even when many of them considered that they did not have suitable PPEs, and were thus taking a higher than usual infection risk. However, they put the health of their relatives before their duties at work.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，医护人员冒着感染或感染家人的风险。西班牙是全球感染医护人员数量最多的国家。我们的目的是研究这些专业人员在当前大流行期间的态度和信念。这是一项描述性研究，使用的是在线问卷，该问卷是基于在 2020 年 3 月 20 日至 27 日向全国医护人员发送的一份早期问卷进行的。医护人员共返回了 971 份完整的问卷。共有 803 名（82.7%）参与者认为他们没有合适的个人防护设备（PPE）来保护自己免受 COVID-19 感染。此外，即使有 229 人（23.58%）同意继续工作，即使他们没有。尽管如此，其中 606 人（62.4%）表示愿意工作，即使他们在工作中感染和患病的风险高于平时。在当前的大流行中，西班牙医护人员表现出了极高的职业承诺。他们愿意在许多人认为他们没有合适的个人防护设备的情况下工作，因此冒着比平时更高的感染风险。然而，他们将亲属的健康置于工作责任之前。
