BACKGROUNDS
A physical therapist may become infected while treating a patient since they are in direct contact with them or within a two-meter radius. In addition, physical therapists may feel that they are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection when applying rehabilitation practices, which often involve direct contact with patients. The physical therapist were surveyed on their level of anxiety and depression due to the Coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19).
METHODS
The physical therapists were asked to complete two reliable and validated scales, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), to identify the presence of anxiety and depression in the participants. In addition, logistic regression models were used to determine the general characteristics of anxiety or depression.
RESULTS
Among the 117 physical therapists who completed and participated in the study, 74 (63%) and 65 (55.5%) physical therapists reported having symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. The prevalence of overall anxiety levels was higher; mild (OR = 2.09; P = 0.08), moderate (OR = 2.26; P = 0.15), and severe levels six times as high (OR = 6.28; P = 0.1) in females compared to male physical therapists. Females, younger age, unmarried individuals, not having children, and not living with family showed a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression. Binary logistic regression analysis also revealed that the female gender, a single individual, and having no children were associated with anxiety and depression.
CONCLUSIONS
A significant percentage of physical therapists reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, especially among females, younger age, single individuals, not having children, and not living with family. Thus, the mental health of physical therapists is suggested to be constantly and cautiously monitored, especially for those at high risk of developing psychological symptoms.
背景
物理治疗师在治疗患者时可能会被感染，因为他们与患者直接接触或处于两米半径内。此外，物理治疗师在应用康复实践时可能会感到更容易感染 COVID-19，因为这些实践通常涉及与患者的直接接触。对物理治疗师进行了冠状病毒病大流行（COVID-19）引起的焦虑和抑郁水平的调查。
方法
要求物理治疗师完成两个可靠和有效的量表，即广泛性焦虑障碍量表（GAD-7）和患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9），以确定参与者是否存在焦虑和抑郁。此外，还使用逻辑回归模型来确定焦虑或抑郁的一般特征。
结果
在完成并参与研究的 117 名物理治疗师中，分别有 74 名（63%）和 65 名（55.5%）物理治疗师报告有焦虑和抑郁症状。整体焦虑水平的患病率较高；女性轻度（OR=2.09；P=0.08）、中度（OR=2.26；P=0.15）和重度焦虑水平的患病率是男性物理治疗师的六倍（OR=6.28；P=0.1）。女性、年龄较小、未婚、无子女和不与家人同住的人表现出更高的焦虑和抑郁患病率。二项逻辑回归分析还表明，女性、单身和没有孩子与焦虑和抑郁有关。
结论
相当一部分物理治疗师报告有焦虑和抑郁症状，尤其是女性、年龄较小、单身、没有孩子和不与家人同住的人。因此，建议持续谨慎监测物理治疗师的心理健康，尤其是对那些有发展心理症状高风险的人。
