Our fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not ended yet. Another wave, possibly due to another variant, can put the healthcare system on its toes again. The outcome of the intensive care unit (ICU) depends on the teamwork of doctors, nursing staff, and care assistants (CAs).
This survey was conducted to assess the level of preparedness of healthcare workers (HCWs) in isolation ICUs by recording and calculating the score of their responses, using a validated pre-formed questionnaire.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 200 HCWs in isolation ICUs by using a pre-validated questionnaire form as an assessment tool. HCWs in isolation ICUs included doctors, nurses, and CAs who have worked in ICUs dedicated to COVID-19 patients. The response was documented and scores as per the response were assessed by analog scale.
Most of the HCWs were anxious (53%) and 96.5% were either bothered or scared. HCWs with adequate knowledge have higher generalized anxiety disorder scores (χ2 = 15.287, p = 0.015). Despite having adequate/average knowledge, most of the HCWs have insufficient knowledge of the correct steps of donning and doffing.
HCWs were aware of the COVID-19 pandemic but were not prepared for the anticipated second wave.
我们抗击2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的战斗尚未结束。可能由于另一种变体引发的新一轮疫情，可能会使医疗系统再次处于戒备状态。重症监护病房（ICU）的治疗效果取决于医生、护理人员和护理助理（CA）的团队协作。
本调查旨在通过使用经过验证的预定义问卷记录并计算医护人员（HCW）的回答分数，来评估隔离ICU中医护人员的准备水平。
采用预先验证的问卷形式作为评估工具，对200名隔离ICU中的医护人员进行横断面调查。隔离ICU中的医护人员包括在专门收治COVID-19患者的ICU工作的医生、护士和护理助理。记录回答情况，并根据回答情况用模拟量表评估分数。
大多数医护人员感到焦虑（53%），96.5%的人感到困扰或害怕。具备足够知识的医护人员有更高的广泛性焦虑症得分（χ2 = 15.287，p = 0.015）。尽管具备足够/一般的知识，但大多数医护人员对正确穿脱步骤的了解不足。
医护人员了解COVID-19大流行，但对预期的第二波疫情没有做好准备。
