The response to the COVID-19 pandemic by anesthesiologists has been simply heroic. Unfortunately, there are very few evidence-based studies in the literature that focus on anesthesiologists' burnout during that time. The purpose of our study was to examine the psychological distress, after the COVID-19 pandemic, among anesthesiologists in Poland.
We conducted an anonymous internet survey among a group of anesthesiologists in Poland. It contained a questionnaire, entitled "Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI)", with demographic questions about sex, age, and family, as well as questions related to working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. We received data from 158 people, including 109 women and 49 men.
Results from the analysis showed that 73% (115/158) of the participants suffered from burnout. Moreover, 95.6% of the participants thought that the COVID-19 pandemic had had an influence on their level of burnout, and 97.3% found that it had had a negative impact.
There is no doubt that healthcare workers, despite the difficulties associated with their daily work, have not faced challenges on such a scale in a very long time. Support for their mental health should be an essential component of the modern public healthcare system.
麻醉师在应对 COVID-19 大流行方面的反应堪称英勇。不幸的是，文献中几乎没有针对麻醉师在此期间倦怠的基于证据的研究。我们研究的目的是调查 COVID-19 大流行后波兰麻醉师的心理困扰。
我们在波兰的一组麻醉师中进行了一项匿名互联网调查。它包含一份题为“奥尔登堡倦怠量表 (OLBI)”的问卷，其中包含有关性别、年龄和家庭的人口统计学问题，以及与 COVID-19 大流行期间工作条件相关的问题。我们收到了 158 人的数据，其中包括 109 名女性和 49 名男性。
分析结果表明，73%（115/158）的参与者患有倦怠。此外，95.6%的参与者认为 COVID-19 大流行对他们的倦怠程度有影响，97.3%的参与者认为这对他们的倦怠有负面影响。
毫无疑问，医疗保健工作者尽管在日常工作中面临困难，但他们很长时间以来都没有面临如此规模的挑战。支持他们的心理健康应该是现代公共医疗保健系统的一个重要组成部分。
