During the Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, medical residents were deployed to help with managing patients in a wide range of settings. Unlike other COVID-19-related topics, the psychological impact of the pandemic on medical residents has received little attention.
This study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical residents' well-being, depression, and stress levels.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. A total of 597 medical residents were identified and with the aim of a sample size of 300 participants; 242 responses were collected during the period between November 2020 to February 2021. Data were collected through an online survey utilizing Patient Health Questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale. SPSS software was used for data analysis.
Most of the residents in our study were females (73.6%) and single (60.7%). Around 66.5% were depressed, 87.2% were under low-moderate stress, and 12.8% were under high stress. Majority (73.5%) of the single residents were depressed ( = 0.016). Being male has been found to lower the risk of developing depression ( = 0.042). The need to relocate for family protection increased the risk of developing depression ( = 0.022).Residents who were living with their friends/roommates were found to be under a high level of stress ( = 0.001). Surgical specialties' residents were found to be the most under high stress ( = 0.044).
Female gender, single status, and changing housing were risk factors for depression. Conversely, living with friends/roommates and working in surgical specialties were contributing to high-stress levels.
在新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，医学住院医师被调配到各种场所协助管理患者。与其他COVID-19相关话题不同，大流行对医学住院医师的心理影响很少受到关注。
本研究旨在评估COVID-19大流行对医学住院医师幸福感、抑郁和压力水平的影响。
在阿联酋阿布扎比酋长国进行了一项横断面研究。共确定了597名医学住院医师，目标样本量为300名参与者；在2020年11月至2021年2月期间收集了242份回复。通过使用患者健康问卷和感知压力量表的在线调查收集数据。使用SPSS软件进行数据分析。
我们研究中的大多数住院医师为女性（73.6%）且单身（60.7%）。约66.5%的人有抑郁情绪，87.2%的人处于低至中度压力下，12.8%的人处于高压力下。大多数（73.5%）单身住院医师有抑郁情绪（P = 0.016）。发现男性患抑郁症的风险较低（P = 0.042）。为保护家人而需要搬迁会增加患抑郁症的风险（P = 0.022）。发现与朋友/室友一起生活的住院医师压力水平较高（P = 0.001）。外科专科住院医师被发现压力最大（P = 0.044）。
女性性别、单身状态和住房变化是抑郁的危险因素。相反，与朋友/室友一起生活和从事外科专科工作会导致压力水平升高。
