Abstract

Background: No previous studies have examined the relationship between stress, anxiety, and depression among pharmacists in Vietnam. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the correlation between stress, anxiety, depression, and job satisfaction among hospital pharmacists in Vietnam. Methods: The study comprised a 12-month cross-sectional survey in Can Tho City, Vietnam, with 11 conveniently selected hospitals. Out of 305 the distributed questionnaires, 303 were completed (99.3% response rate). The 21-item depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS-21) assessed stress, anxiety, and depression (21 items), while job satisfaction was measured using a 44-item questionnaire. Results: The study revealed a prevalence of 15.5% for stress, 27.1% for anxiety, and 20.5% for depression among hospital staff. Additionally, the majority of hospital staff (72.9%) reported being satisfied with their job. Those with more than 2 children (95% CI = 1.183-14.519) were nearly 4 times as likely to experience higher stress. Female respondents (95% CI = 1.34-5.92) and those who rented (95% CI = 1.05-3.55) were more likely to encounter anxiety. Those living outside Can Tho City (95% CI = 1.32-9.88) were at a 3.61 times higher risk of depression, while individuals who had been working at the hospital for 5 to 10 years (95% CI = 0.17-0.82) had a lower risk of depression. Increased depression (aOR = 0.441; 95% CI = 0.21-0.94) was linked to job dissatisfaction. Conclusion: Depression was significantly associated with job dissatisfaction. The study findings suggest that management agencies should implement prevention and intervention strategies to reduce mental health issues among hospital pharmacists.

越南医院药剂师的心理压力及其与工作满意度的关系

背景：以前没有研究探讨过越南药剂师的压力、焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。研究目的本研究旨在调查越南医院药剂师的压力、焦虑、抑郁和工作满意度之间的相关性。研究方法本研究在越南芹苴市的 11 家医院进行了为期 12 个月的横断面调查。在发放的 305 份问卷中，有 303 份填写完毕（回复率为 99.3%）。由 21 个项目组成的抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-21）对压力、焦虑和抑郁（21 个项目）进行了评估，而工作满意度则由 44 个项目组成的问卷进行测量。研究结果研究显示，医院员工的压力发生率为 15.5%，焦虑发生率为 27.1%，抑郁发生率为 20.5%。此外，大多数医院员工（72.9%）对自己的工作表示满意。有两个以上子女的受访者（95% CI = 1.183-14.519）承受较高压力的可能性几乎是其他受访者的四倍。女性受访者（95% CI = 1.34-5.92）和租房者（95% CI = 1.05-3.55）更容易感到焦虑。居住在芹苴市以外的受访者（95% CI = 1.32-9.88）患抑郁症的风险高出 3.61 倍，而在医院工作 5-10 年的受访者（95% CI = 0.17-0.82）患抑郁症的风险较低。抑郁症的增加（aOR = 0.441; 95% CI = 0.21-0.94）与工作不满意度有关。结论抑郁与工作不满意度密切相关。研究结果表明，管理机构应实施预防和干预策略，以减少医院药剂师的心理健康问题。
