COVID-19 has led to marked increases in healthcare worker distress. Studies of these phenomena are often limited to a particular element of distress or a specific subset of healthcare workers. We administered the Moral Injury Symptom Scale for Healthcare Professionals, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 via online survey to 17,000 employees of a large academic medical center between December 2021 and February 2022. A total of 1945 participants completed the survey. Across all roles, the prevalence of moral injury, burnout, depression, and anxiety were 40.9%, 35.3%-60.6%, 25.4%, and 24.8%, respectively. Furthermore, 8.1% had been bothered by thoughts that they would be better off dead or of hurting themselves for "several days" or more frequently. Healthcare workers across all roles and practice settings are experiencing unsustainable levels of distress, with 1 in 12 regularly experiencing thoughts of self-harm.
COVID-19 导致医护人员的痛苦明显增加。对这些现象的研究通常仅限于痛苦的特定元素或特定类别的医护人员。我们于 2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 2 月期间，通过在线调查向一家大型学术医疗中心的 17000 名员工发放了《医护人员道德伤害症状量表》、《哥本哈根倦怠量表》、《患者健康问卷-9》和《广泛性焦虑症-7》。共有 1945 名参与者完成了调查。在所有角色中，道德伤害、倦怠、抑郁和焦虑的发生率分别为 40.9%、35.3%-60.6%、25.4%和 24.8%。此外，8.1%的人因“几天”或更频繁地出现想死或伤害自己的想法而感到困扰。所有角色和工作环境的医护人员都在经历难以承受的痛苦水平，每 12 人中就有 1 人经常有自杀念头。
