This study aimed to investigate how the psychological health of health care professionals (HCP) on COVID duty was different from those who were not directly in contact. Of 473 (76%) randomly selected respondents (doctors and nurses) to a WhatsApp request message, 450 subjects' data were finally analyzed. The prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression among HCP was 33.8, 38.9 and 43.6%, respectively. Compared with nonexposed professionals, COVID-19-exposed professionals had roughly double the score of these morbidities (t = 6.3, p < 0.001; t = 6.9, p < 0.001; t = 6.0, p < 0.001). Most worry (71.11%) was about the health of their family, followed by themselves (35.55%). The level of exposure, feelings of uncertainty and fear of infection emerged in our study as possible risk factors for psychological morbidities among HCP.
本研究旨在调查从事 COVID 工作的医护人员的心理健康状况与非直接接触者有何不同。在对 WhatsApp 请求消息进行随机抽样的 473 名（76%）受访者（医生和护士）中，最终分析了 450 名受试者的数据。医护人员的压力、焦虑和抑郁患病率分别为 33.8%、38.9%和 43.6%。与未暴露于 COVID-19 的专业人员相比，暴露于 COVID-19 的专业人员这些疾病的评分几乎翻了一番（t=6.3，p<0.001；t=6.9，p<0.001；t=6.0，p<0.001）。最担心（71.11%）的是家人的健康，其次是自己（35.55%）。在我们的研究中，暴露程度、不确定性感和对感染的恐惧被认为是医护人员心理疾病的潜在危险因素。
