Abstract

Abstract Aim: The study was aimed at calculating the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression among medical and health-care workers working in hospitals that catered to COVID-19 patients. Methodology: A total of 471 healthcare and medical personnel filled up an online socio-demographic pro forma and answered the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test where appropriate. Results: The sample consisted of medical personnel and nurses. Majority were married and male. The levels of anxiety and stress were reported to be higher in males while depression was reported higher in females. Being unmarried and not having children were factors that showed higher depression levels while no socio-demographic factors showed a trend with anxiety and stress. Conclusion: Depression, anxiety, and stress are common in medical personnel and health-care workers working in the COVID-19 pandemic. Sound mental health interventions for these workers and large studies in specific populations are needed to corroborate these findings.

COVID-19大流行期间卫生保健工作人员的压力、焦虑和抑郁:一项横断面研究

摘要目的:本研究旨在计算在新冠肺炎患者医院工作的医护人员的压力、焦虑和抑郁水平。方法:共有471名医疗保健和医务人员填写了一份在线社会人口统计表格，并回答了抑郁、焦虑和压力量表。数据分析采用描述性统计和卡方检验。结果:样本由医务人员和护士组成。大多数是已婚男性。据报道，男性的焦虑和压力水平更高，而女性的抑郁水平更高。未婚和没有孩子是表现出较高抑郁水平的因素，而没有社会人口因素显示出焦虑和压力的趋势。结论:在COVID-19大流行中工作的医务人员和卫生保健工作者普遍存在抑郁、焦虑和压力。需要对这些工人进行合理的心理健康干预，并在特定人群中进行大量研究，以证实这些发现。
