Introduction The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the quality of life of both the general population and health professionals and has increased the levels of psychopathology among them. The present study aims to map the levels of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychological resilience, and quality of life of healthcare professionals who work in a COVID-19 reference hospital in Athens, Greece, one year after the onset of the pandemic. Also, this study focuses on investigating the relationships among the study variables and demographics and examining possible mediating effects. Methods The sample consisted of 400 health professionals from Sotiria Hospital, of whom 102 were men. Participants were asked to complete the Post-Traumatic Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire. The survey was conducted from May to July 2021. Results The findings show statistical differences in resilience levels regarding marital status and employee education. Also, 13.5% of the staff reported significant PTSD levels, which relate to low levels of psychological resilience and every pillar of quality of life. Conclusions Thus, research findings indicate that resilience levels could have a protective effect on the development of PTSD symptoms. Therefore, the design of group interventions that aim at building health workers' resilience will be discussed.
引言 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行影响了普通民众和医护人员的生活质量,并增加了他们的精神病理学水平。本研究旨在描绘希腊雅典一家 COVID-19 定点医院的医护人员在大流行爆发一年后的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)水平、心理复原力和生活质量。此外,本研究重点调查研究变量与人口统计学之间的关系,并检验可能的中介效应。方法 样本包括来自索蒂里亚医院的 400 名医护人员,其中 102 名男性。参与者被要求完成创伤后应激量表、康纳 - 戴维森复原力量表和世界卫生组织生活质量问卷。调查于 2021 年 5 月至 7 月进行。结果 研究结果显示,在婚姻状况和员工教育方面,复原力水平存在统计学差异。此外,13.5% 的工作人员报告有显著的 PTSD 水平,这与心理复原力水平低以及生活质量的各个方面相关。结论 因此,研究结果表明,复原力水平可能对 PTSD 症状的发展具有保护作用。因此,将讨论旨在增强医护人员复原力的团体干预措施的设计。
