During the COVID-19 pandemic, the workload of healthcare workers managing the disease, increased significantly. The objective of this review is to determine the anxiety and depression prevalence among healthcare workers during the pandemic period.
We searched systematically the literature in five electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, ScienceDirect, MEDLINE, and Cochrane COVID-19 study register. The last online research was performed in May 2022. We included only cross-sectional studies and performed a meta-analysis of pooled prevalence. Publication bias was assessed with a funnel plot and Egger's and Begg's tests. A random effect was applied and heterogenicity I2 was calculated. Quality assessment of included studies was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.
In this review, we included 14 cross-sectional studies comprising 7780 healthcare workers. Participants were from the whole spectrum of healthcare workers. The pooled prevalence of depression was 33.8% (95% CI: 24.6 - 43.6), heterogenicity I: 98.69%. The pooled prevalence of anxiety was 41.3% (95% CI: 30.2 - 52.9), heterogenicity I: 99.01%.
One-third of healthcare workers suffered from depression, and more than one-third suffered from anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increased measures of surveillance of mental health should have been taken, as well as the support of healthcare workers running a high risk of psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
在新冠疫情期间，负责管理该疾病的医护人员工作量显著增加。本综述的目的是确定疫情期间医护人员中焦虑和抑郁的患病率。
我们系统检索了五个电子数据库中的文献，如PubMed、CINAHL、ScienceDirect、MEDLINE和Cochrane新冠研究注册库。最后一次在线检索于2022年5月进行。我们仅纳入横断面研究，并对合并患病率进行荟萃分析。通过漏斗图以及Egger检验和Begg检验评估发表偏倚。应用随机效应模型并计算异质性I2。使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所工具对纳入研究进行质量评估。
在本综述中，我们纳入了14项横断面研究，共7780名医护人员。参与者涵盖了各类医护人员。抑郁症的合并患病率为33.8%（95%置信区间：24.6 - 43.6），异质性I：98.69%。焦虑症的合并患病率为41.3%（95%置信区间：30.2 - 52.9），异质性I：99.01%。
在新冠疫情期间，三分之一的医护人员患有抑郁症，超过三分之一的医护人员患有焦虑症。应加强心理健康监测措施，并为在新冠疫情期间面临高心理困扰风险的医护人员提供支持。
