The suffering, pain and fear of death experienced by patients during the pandemic have evoked a wide range of feelings and emotions in healthcare professionals. Managing these emotions is influenced by factors such as emotional intelligence and resilience. Recognising and addressing these emotions can enhance the quality of care and help prevent mental health issues. This study analyses the relationship among fear of death, emotional intelligence and resilience, as along with the sociodemographic variables of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive, comparative and correlational study was conducted. Participants included professionals from the Neurosurgery, Pneumology, Emergency Service and Floating Staff units in a tertiary-level hospital in Spain. Data were collected through an anonymous and voluntary online survey, which included sociodemographic data, Collett-Lester fear of death, emotional intelligence and resilience scale. Participation was anonymous and voluntary. A total of 121 professionals participated, predominantly women (85.12%), with a mean age of 41.89 years (SD ± 9.6). Nurses compromised 64% of the sample. Fear of others' death (37.2%) and the dying process of others (33.1%) increased. Emotional intelligence levels were generally adequate across all work areas, with women scoring higher in attention and clarity. However, significant differences in emotional regulation were observed between groups. Resilience scores were high across all participants (> 78.77). Positive correlations were found among age, fear of the dying process of others (=0.003) and resilience (=0.002). An inverse correlation was observed between fear of others' death and resilience (=0.018) and emotional regulation (=0.020). Linear regression analysis identified attention to emotions, acceptance and bioethics training as predictors of fear of death.
疫情期间患者所经历的痛苦、疼痛和对死亡的恐惧，在医护人员中引发了各种各样的感受和情绪。管理这些情绪会受到诸如情商和适应力等因素的影响。识别并处理这些情绪能够提高护理质量，并有助于预防心理健康问题。本研究分析了在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间，医护人员对死亡的恐惧、情商和适应力之间的关系，以及他们的社会人口统计学变量。开展了一项描述性、比较性和相关性研究。参与者包括西班牙一家三级医院神经外科、肺病科、急诊科和流动人员部门的专业人员。通过匿名且自愿的在线调查收集数据，该调查包括社会人口统计学数据、科利特 - 莱斯特死亡恐惧量表、情商和适应力量表。参与是匿名且自愿的。共有121名专业人员参与，其中女性占主导（85.12%），平均年龄为41.89岁（标准差±9.6）。护士占样本的64%。对他人死亡的恐惧（37.2%）和他人的临终过程（33.1%）有所增加。所有工作领域的情商水平总体上较为充足，女性在注意力和清晰度方面得分更高。然而，不同组之间在情绪调节方面存在显著差异。所有参与者的适应力得分都很高（> 78.77）。在年龄、对他人临终过程的恐惧（=0.003）和适应力（=0.002）之间发现了正相关。在对他人死亡的恐惧与适应力（=0.018）和情绪调节（=0.020）之间观察到负相关。线性回归分析确定对情绪的关注、接纳和生物伦理学培训是死亡恐惧的预测因素。
