To investigate the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on psychosocial and behavioral responses of the non-health care workforce and to evaluate transmission prevention behavior implementation in the workplace.
We deployed the baseline questionnaire of a prospective online survey from November 20, 2020, through February 8, 2021 to US-based employees. The survey included questions on psychosocial and behavioral responses in addition to transmission prevention behaviors (e.g., mask wearing). Select questions asked employees to report perceptions and behaviors before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed descriptively and stratified by work from home (WFH) percentage.
In total, 3607 employees from 8 companies completed the survey. Most participants (70.0%) averaged 90% or more of their time WFH during the pandemic. Employees reported increases in stress (54.0%), anxiety (57.4%), fatigue (51.6%), feeling unsafe (50.4%), lack of companionship (60.5%), and feeling isolated from others (69.3%) from before to during the pandemic. Productivity was perceived to decrease for 42.9% of employees and non-work-related screen time and alcohol consumption to increase for 50.7% and 25.1% of employees, respectively, from before to during the pandemic. Adverse changes were worse among those with lower WFH percentages. Most employees reported wearing a mask (98.2%), washing hands regularly (95.7%), and physically distancing (93.6%) in the workplace.
These results suggest worsened psychosocial and behavioral outcomes from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic and higher transmission prevention behavior implementation among non-health care employees. These observations provide novel insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted non-health care employees.
调查2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对非医疗工作人员心理社会和行为反应的影响，并评估工作场所传播预防行为的实施情况。
我们于2020年11月20日至2021年2月8日，向美国员工发放了一项前瞻性在线调查的基线问卷。该调查除了包括传播预防行为（如佩戴口罩）的问题外，还包括心理社会和行为反应的问题。部分问题要求员工报告COVID-19大流行之前和期间的认知及行为。数据进行了描述性分析，并按居家工作（WFH）百分比进行分层。
共有来自8家公司的3607名员工完成了调查。大多数参与者（70.0%）在大流行期间平均有90%或更多时间居家工作。员工报告称，从大流行之前到期间，压力（54.0%）、焦虑（57.4%）、疲劳（51.6%）、感觉不安全（50.4%）、缺乏陪伴（6️0.5%）以及感觉与他人隔离（69.3%）均有所增加。42.9%的员工认为生产力下降，50.7%的员工非工作相关屏幕使用时间增加，25.1%的员工饮酒量增加，均是从大流行之前到期间。WFH百分比较低的员工中，不良变化更为严重。大多数员工报告在工作场所佩戴口罩（98.2%）、定期洗手（95.7%）和保持身体距离（93.6%）。
这些结果表明，从COVID-19大流行之前到期间，非医疗工作人员的心理社会和行为结果恶化，且传播预防行为的实施率更高。这些观察结果为COVID-19大流行如何影响非医疗工作人员提供了新的见解。
