Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented serious mental health challenges for healthcare professionals. This study investigated the mental health, mental fatigue, quality of life, and stigma of social discrimination among healthcare workers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A correlational, cross-sectional, multi-centric design was employed to collect data from 1383 healthcare workers across various healthcare settings. Participants were recruited using combined cluster and purposive sampling techniques. Standardized questionnaires, including the COVID-19 Pandemic Mental Health Questionnaire (CoPaQ), the Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS), the Social Discrimination Scale-Stigma Subscale (SDS), and the WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF), were administered to assess the study variables. The results indicated significant mental health impacts, with high average scores for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (9.37 ± 6.74) and positive coping by inner strengths (17.63 ± 5.72). Mental fatigue was prevalent (8.15 ± 8.62), and stigma of social discrimination scored notably (23.83 ± 7.46). Quality of life was the highest in the social domain (65.38 ± 24.58). Significant correlations were observed between mental health subscales, mental fatigue, and quality of life domains. These findings highlight the critical need for targeted mental health support programs, improved social support networks, and personalized interventions to mitigate the mental health challenges faced by healthcare workers. Healthcare organizations can guarantee a resilient workforce that can handle future health crises by giving mental health resources and support systems top priority.
在全球范围内,COVID-19 大流行给医疗保健专业人员带来了严重的心理健康挑战。本研究调查了阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)COVID-19 大流行期间医疗保健工作者的心理健康、心理疲劳、生活质量和社会歧视耻辱感。采用相关性、横断面、多中心设计,从各种医疗保健环境中收集了 1383 名医疗保健工作者的数据。采用组合聚类和目的抽样技术招募参与者。使用标准化问卷,包括 COVID-19 大流行心理健康问卷(CoPaQ)、心理疲劳量表(MFS)、社会歧视量表耻辱感子量表(SDS)和世界卫生组织生活质量问卷-简短版(WHOQOL-BREF),评估研究变量。结果表明心理健康受到显著影响,创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的平均得分较高(9.37 ± 6.74),内部力量的积极应对得分较高(17.63 ± 5.72)。心理疲劳普遍存在(8.15 ± 8.62),社会歧视耻辱感得分显著(23.83 ± 7.46)。生活质量在社会领域得分最高(65.38 ± 24.58)。心理健康子量表、心理疲劳和生活质量领域之间存在显著相关性。这些发现强调了需要有针对性的心理健康支持计划、改善社会支持网络和个性化干预措施,以减轻医疗保健工作者面临的心理健康挑战。医疗保健组织可以通过优先考虑心理健康资源和支持系统,确保一支有弹性的劳动力,以应对未来的健康危机。
