We investigated the availability and use of workplace mental health (MH) supports during the COVID-19 pandemic in a Canadian cohort of healthcare workers (HCW) and measured anxiety and depression by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) completed at four contacts 2020-2022. Reports were available for 4400 HCW working with patients. Half the HCWs had a clinically significant HADS score at one or more contacts Access to MH supports increased during the pandemic, with 94% reporting access to some workplace support by 2022: 47% had made use of at least one support. 25% of those with high HADS scores used no support. Older women and men with depressive conditions were less likely to report use. Reported use of an Employee Assistance Program was associated with a reduction in HADS scores in the following months.
我们调查了在 COVID-19 大流行期间加拿大医疗保健工作者（HCW）群体中工作场所心理健康（MH）支持的可及性和使用情况，并通过 2020-2022 年四次联系时完成的医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HADS）来衡量焦虑和抑郁程度。报告涵盖了 4400 名与患者一起工作的 HCW。一半的 HCW 在一个或多个接触点的 HADS 评分有临床意义。在大流行期间，MH 支持的可及性增加，到 2022 年，94%的人报告可以获得一些工作场所支持：47%的人至少使用了一种支持。HADS 评分较高的人中，有 25%的人没有使用任何支持。有抑郁症状的老年女性和男性报告使用的可能性较低。报告使用员工援助计划与随后几个月 HADS 评分的降低相关。
