In this study, we aim to determine post-pandemic level of secondary traumatic stress and the associated factors among healthcare workers practicing in the Western province of Saudi Arabia.
Healthcare workers practicing at public health sector of the Western province of Saudi Arabia. Received Web-based Self-administered questionnaire, assessing post-pandemic Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS), using Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS).
A total of 380 responses received. Logistic regression analysis identified significant predictors of secondary traumatic stress (STS). Females had a significantly higher likelihood of experiencing STS (OR=2.425, <0.001). Doctors were significantly more likely to experience STS compared to other specialties (OR=2.863, =0.016). Participants sleeping 7 hours were associated with a lower likelihood of STS (OR=0.427, =0.016), while sleeping 6 hours showed a trend towards lower STS but was not statistically significant (=0.068). Participants aged 50 and above were significantly less likely to experience STS (OR=0.275, =0.021). Lastly, Saudi nationals were significantly more likely to experience STS compared to non-Saudis (OR=2.717, =0.014).
Female healthcare workers, doctors, and those younger than 50 years old were all found to be at a significantly higher risk of STS. Interestingly, sleep duration emerged as a potential protective factor, with those sleeping 7 hours exhibiting a lower risk of STS. Finally, the analysis revealed a higher prevalence of STS among Saudi nationals compared to non-Saudis.
在本研究中，我们旨在确定沙特阿拉伯西部省份的医护人员在疫情后二次创伤应激的水平及其相关因素。
在沙特阿拉伯西部省份公共卫生部门工作的医护人员。通过基于网络的自填问卷，使用二次创伤应激量表（STSS）评估疫情后的二次创伤应激（STS）。
共收到380份回复。逻辑回归分析确定了二次创伤应激（STS）的显著预测因素。女性经历STS的可能性显著更高（OR=2.425，<0.001）。与其他专业相比，医生经历STS的可能性显著更高（OR=2.863，=0.016）。睡眠时间为7小时的参与者经历STS的可能性较低（OR=0.427，=0.016），而睡眠时间为6小时的参与者经历STS的可能性呈下降趋势，但无统计学意义（=0.068）。50岁及以上的参与者经历STS的可能性显著较低（OR=0.275，=0.021）。最后，沙特国民比非沙特国民经历STS的可能性显著更高（OR=2.717，=0.014）。
女性医护人员、医生以及50岁以下的人员被发现经历STS的风险显著更高。有趣的是，睡眠时间成为一个潜在的保护因素，睡眠时间为7小时的人经历STS的风险较低。最后，分析显示沙特国民中STS的患病率高于非沙特国民。
