The illness caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) triggered considerable mental consequences for the medical staff. Our aim was to research whether frontline healthcare workers' positive psychological state-PsyCap-impacts the relationship between anxiety/depression and burnout/mental health complaints. One hundred twenty-six medical professionals working on the frontline at the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department in Romania took validated surveys between March and April 2020. All information was collected online after accessing a link that was received in an email message. The inclusion criteria concerned the categories of healthcare professionals who came into direct contact with patients during the COVID-19 global epidemic through the performed medical act, as well as time spent in the medical field of ICU an EM, namely at least 1 year in the department. We excluded from the research other categories of employees and auxiliary staff, as well as healthcare workers with <1-year experience in the medical field. The moderating role of personal resources (PsyCap) between demands (such as anxiety and depression) and ill-being (burnout and mental health complaints) of healthcare professionals were tested hierarchical multiple regressions. We tested the moderating role of PsyCap on the relation between anxiety and ill-being. The results indicated that high anxiety predicts lower emotional exhaustion and a low level of mental health complaints about Romanian healthcare professionals when PsyCap is high. The moderating role of PsyCap on the relation between depression and ill-being was tested in the second hypothesis. The results indicated that high depression predicts lower inefficacy and a low level of mental health complaints about Romanian healthcare professionals when PsyCap is increased. PsyCap is a crucial variable that may decrease the impact of anxiety and depression on psychological outcomes such as emotional exhaustion, inefficacy, and psychological problems among Romanian medical professionals working on the frontline during the COVID-19 global epidemic. Thus, psychological interventions that help medical staff gain personal resources are appropriate in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）引起的疾病给医务人员带来了相当大的心理后果。我们的目的是研究一线医护人员的积极心理状态——心理资本（PsyCap）是否会影响焦虑/抑郁与倦怠/心理健康问题之间的关系。2020 年 3 月至 4 月，罗马尼亚重症监护室和急诊科的 126 名一线医疗专业人员接受了经过验证的调查。所有信息都是在通过电子邮件收到链接后在线收集的。纳入标准涉及在 COVID-19 全球大流行期间通过实施医疗行为直接接触患者的医护人员类别，以及在 ICU 和 EM 医疗领域工作的时间，即至少在该部门工作 1 年。我们将其他类别的员工和辅助人员以及在医疗领域工作经验不足 1 年的医护人员排除在研究之外。通过分层多元回归检验个人资源（PsyCap）在医护人员需求（如焦虑和抑郁）和不适（倦怠和心理健康问题）之间的调节作用。我们检验了 PsyCap 在焦虑与不适之间关系上的调节作用。结果表明，当 PsyCap 较高时，高焦虑预示着罗马尼亚医护人员情绪衰竭程度较低，心理健康问题水平较低。在第二个假设中检验了 PsyCap 在抑郁与不适之间关系上的调节作用。结果表明，当 PsyCap 增加时，高抑郁预示着罗马尼亚医护人员的无效感较低，心理健康问题水平较低。PsyCap 是一个关键变量，它可以降低焦虑和抑郁对心理结果的影响，如情绪衰竭、无效感和在 COVID-19 全球大流行期间工作的罗马尼亚医疗专业人员的心理问题。因此，在 COVID-19 大流行背景下，帮助医务人员获得个人资源的心理干预是恰当的。
