Healthcare professionals are exposed to the stress of the pandemic in the highest level and try to cope with the long-term psychological consequences.
This study mainly aimed to compare the anxiety and depression levels of resident doctors (RDs) who cared and did not care for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at the University Hospital, which has been serving as a pandemic hospital during the COVID-19 outbreak.
To proceed with this study, 100 RDs were included this study between March 15 and June 1, 2020. Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used to measure the depression levels and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to measure the anxiety levels of the RDs who participated in the study.
The analysis of the responses showed that there were 49 RDs treating COVID-19 patients and 51 RDs not treating COVID-19 patients. The proportions of the RDs who had higher PHQ-9 and BAI scores were significantly greater in the RDs treating COVID-19 patients than in those not treating.
Our study highlights that front-line RDs have higher levels of anxiety and depression than back-line RDs.

本研究主要旨在比较在大学医院照顾和不照顾 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者的住院医师(RD)的焦虑和抑郁水平,该医院在 COVID-19 爆发期间一直作为大流行医院。
为了进行这项研究,在 2020 年 3 月 15 日至 6 月 1 日期间,纳入了 100 名 RD。使用患者健康问卷(PHQ-9)来衡量抑郁水平,使用贝克焦虑量表(BAI)来衡量参与研究的 RD 的焦虑水平。
对反应的分析表明,有 49 名 RD 治疗 COVID-19 患者,51 名 RD 不治疗 COVID-19 患者。与不治疗 COVID-19 的 RD 相比,治疗 COVID-19 的 RD 中 PHQ-9 和 BAI 评分较高的比例明显更高。
我们的研究强调,一线 RD 的焦虑和抑郁水平高于二线 RD。
