The global COVID-19 pandemic presented a period of considerable stress for healthcare professionals on a global scale. The strain on healthcare facilities nationwide has resulted in profound implications for the well-being of numerous healthcare practitioners. A heightened demand for extended working hours emerged, potentially amplifying the workload for these professionals. This study aims to scrutinize the workload levels experienced by healthcare professionals specializing in family medicine at a tertiary medical center. Our findings reveal a persistent escalation in workload over the course of the study. Notably, the overall mean workload index score exhibited a substantial increase from phase one to phase two (48.07 compared to 66.36). Recognizing the impact of workload variations according to professional roles is crucial for devising effective solutions. Consequently, comprehending the nuances of workload distribution among healthcare professionals is imperative for the successful implementation of targeted interventions.
全球新冠疫情在全球范围内给医护人员带来了一段压力巨大的时期。全国范围内医疗机构的压力给众多医护人员的福祉带来了深远影响。对延长工作时间的需求增加，这可能会加大这些专业人员的工作量。本研究旨在审视一家三级医疗中心的家庭医学专业医护人员所经历的工作量水平。我们的研究结果显示，在研究过程中工作量持续上升。值得注意的是，总体平均工作量指数得分从第一阶段到第二阶段大幅增加（从48.07增至66.36）。认识到根据专业角色划分的工作量变化的影响对于制定有效解决方案至关重要。因此，了解医护人员工作量分布的细微差别对于成功实施有针对性的干预措施必不可少。
