This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of mental problems and social support among nurses during the COVID-19 epidemic and to explore the correlation. We carried out a multicentre, large-sample questionnaire survey in Chongqing (China). The WeChat-based survey program Questionnaire Star was used to distribute a questionnaire with self-designed items to obtain general information, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). A total of 848 neonatal nurses participated. The results showed that 104 nurses (12.3%) had depression symptoms, 133 (15.7%) had anxiety symptoms, and 45 (5.3%) had stress symptoms. However, the DASS-21 score of the majority of nurses was normal. Pearson correlation analyses revealed that mental health was negatively correlated with social support, indicating that the higher social support was, the better the psychological condition of nurses.
本研究旨在调查 COVID-19 疫情期间护士的心理问题和社会支持现状，并探讨两者之间的相关性。我们在中国重庆进行了一项多中心、大样本的问卷调查。使用基于微信的问卷调查程序 Questionnaire Star 向护士发放了一份自设项目的问卷，以获取一般信息、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21（DASS-21）和社会支持评定量表（SSRS）。共有 848 名新生儿护士参与。结果显示，104 名护士（12.3%）有抑郁症状，133 名护士（15.7%）有焦虑症状，45 名护士（5.3%）有压力症状。然而，大多数护士的 DASS-21 评分处于正常范围。Pearson 相关分析表明，心理健康与社会支持呈负相关，表明社会支持越高，护士的心理状况越好。
