Abstract

BACKGROUND

Little is known about the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on community health service staff. The aim of this study was to assess the immediate and longer-term psychosocial impacts of COVID-19 on community health service staff in Australia.

METHODS

A prospective cohort design with an anonymous cross-sectional online survey that was administered at two time points (March-April 2021; n =681 and September-October 2021; n =479). Staff (clinical and non-clinical) were recruited from eight community health services in Victoria, Australia. Study-specific questions evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on respondents' work and personal lives. Space was provided at the end of the surveys for free-text comments.

RESULTS

There were no significant differences in respondent characteristics between the two surveys. At both survey time points, respondents were mostly concerned about their family's health. Compared to the first survey, survey two respondents were significantly more likely to report concerns about infecting family members (48.8% vs 41.6%, P =0.029), clients having COVID-19 (43.2% vs 36.2%, P =0.035), getting COVID-19 at work (53.7% vs 45.6%, P =0.014), not being prepared to care for clients with COVID-19 (27.5% vs 18.8%, P =0.006) and feeling more stress at work (63.7% vs 50.8%, P P =0.026).

CONCLUSIONS

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on the work and personal lives of community health service staff. Staff would benefit from continued and targeted initiatives that address their wellbeing and concerns.

摘要

背景

关于2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对社区卫生服务人员的影响，人们所知甚少。本研究的目的是评估COVID-19对澳大利亚社区卫生服务人员的即时和长期心理社会影响。

方法

采用前瞻性队列设计，通过匿名横断面在线调查在两个时间点进行（2021年3月至4月；n = 681和2021年9月至10月；n = 479）。工作人员（临床和非临床）从澳大利亚维多利亚州的八个社区卫生服务机构招募。特定研究问题评估了COVID-19对受访者工作和个人生活的影响。在调查末尾提供了自由文本评论的空间。

结果

两次调查的受访者特征无显著差异。在两个调查时间点，受访者大多担心家人的健康。与第一次调查相比，第二次调查的受访者更有可能报告担心感染家庭成员（48.8%对41.6%，P = 0.029）、客户感染COVID-19（43.2%对36.2%，P = 0.035）、在工作中感染COVID-19（53.7%对45.6%，P = 0.014）、没有准备好照顾COVID-19患者（27.5%对18.8%，P = 0.006）以及在工作中感到压力更大（63.7%对50.8%，P = 0.026）。
