Health personnel have faced highly adverse circumstances in the workplace since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged exposure to stressful situations at work is considered to affect the physical, psychological, and emotional health of these workers, as well as job performance. The objective of this study was to analyze the beliefs, attitudes, and feelings of health personnel from one Spanish region towards their work after five waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. A Cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out using an electronic questionnaire, adapted, and validated through the Delphi technique. A convenience sampling of 783 was recruited among health personnel from the Canary Islands during the fifth wave of the pandemic in September 2021. Bivariate analyzes have been performed by the Chi-square test accepting statistical significance (p 0.050). The 94.3% (n=738) of the respondents considered the pandemic to have highlighted the shortcomings of the Spanish health system. A clear level of exhaustion and/or a reduction in the level of commitment can be observed in these workers as the pandemic continues, as participants reported feeling both mentally and physically exhausted when finishing their shifts, and even "burned out by their work". This study highlights the resilience and vocation of healthcare professionals, who even considering the effects of the pandemic would choose the same profession. On the other hand, these professionals felt undervalued by their institutions, and almost one of every five, precised psychological support in some point during the health crisis.
自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来，卫生人员在工作场所面临着非常不利的环境。长期暴露于工作中的紧张情况被认为会影响这些工人的身心健康和工作表现。本研究的目的是分析西班牙一个地区的卫生人员在 COVID-19 大流行的五波之后对其工作的信念、态度和感受。使用电子问卷进行了横断面描述性研究，该问卷通过德尔菲技术进行了改编和验证。在 2021 年 9 月 COVID-19 大流行的第五波期间，对加那利群岛的卫生人员进行了便利抽样，共招募了 783 名。通过卡方检验进行了双变量分析，接受了统计学意义（p 0.050）。94.3%（n=738）的受访者认为大流行突出了西班牙卫生系统的缺点。随着大流行的继续，这些工作人员的疲惫程度和/或承诺水平明显下降，可以观察到这些工作人员感到精疲力竭和/或工作倦怠，当完成轮班时，他们报告感到身心疲惫，甚至“工作倦怠”。这项研究强调了医疗保健专业人员的弹性和使命感，即使考虑到大流行的影响，他们也会选择相同的职业。另一方面，这些专业人员感到自己被机构低估了，几乎每五个人中就有一个在卫生危机期间的某个时刻需要心理支持。
