A cross-sectional province-wide survey study of 3,978 British Columbia (BC) nurses was conducted to explore the mental health state of the nursing workforce in BC. About one third of nurses reported depression and anxiety; about half reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and at least one third reported high levels of one or more dimensions of burnout. Mental health problems were about 1.5 to 3 times more prevalent among BC nurses compared to their peers nationally. Improving nurses' mental health requires multi-factorial and multi-level efforts. Evidence-based and workplace-specific policies and interventions that better support nurses at risk are recommended.
对不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)的 3978 名护士进行了一项跨部门的全省调查研究,旨在探讨该省护理人员的心理健康状况。约三分之一的护士报告有抑郁和焦虑症状;约一半报告有创伤后应激障碍症状,至少三分之一报告有一个或多个维度的倦怠症状。与全国同行相比,BC 护士的心理健康问题更为普遍,大约高出 1.5 至 3 倍。改善护士的心理健康需要多方面和多层次的努力。建议采取基于证据和针对工作场所的政策和干预措施,更好地支持有风险的护士。
