Abstract

Background: Prior pandemic research has focused on physicians and nurses who provide direct patient care. Literature on the experiences of nonnurse/physician clinicians and nonclinical health care professionals is sparse.

Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted over threetime points to examine the impact of COVID-19 on clinical and nonclinical healthcare professionals (n = 464).

Findings: There were no significant differences in distress across survey waves, except for anger (p = .046). No significant differences in distress scores were found between job types. Multiple linear regression results varied. Both the threat and interrupted plans scores were significant predictors of distress. Resources available to healthcare providers (HCPs) were underutilized in all three waves.

Conclusions: Healthcare professionals' distress increases with exposure. Integrating self-care resources for staff may mitigate the impact and maintain a healthy work environment.

Application to practice: Occupational health providers should incorporate these findings when developing opportunities to address the needs of health care professionals in the workplace.

COVID-19 对一家中西部四级城市学术卫生中心专业医护人员的影响。

背景：之前的大流行病研究主要集中在直接为病人提供护理的医生和护士身上。有关非护士/医生的临床医生和非临床医护专业人员的经历的文献很少：方法：我们在三个时间点开展了一项横断面观察研究，考察 COVID-19 对临床和非临床医护专业人员（n = 464）的影响：除愤怒（p = .046）外，不同调查波次的困扰没有明显差异。不同工作类型的医护人员的压力得分也无明显差异。多元线性回归结果各不相同。威胁和中断计划得分均可显著预测困扰。在所有三个波次中，医疗保健提供者（HCPs）可利用的资源均未得到充分利用：结论：医疗保健专业人员的困扰会随着暴露程度的增加而增加。为员工整合自我保健资源可减轻影响并保持健康的工作环境：对实践的应用：职业健康提供者在开发机会以满足医疗保健专业人员在工作场所的需求时，应纳入这些研究结果。
