Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced nucleic acid detection to be essential for prevention and control. The psychological and physical health of healthcare staff who conducted nucleic acid sampling (NAS) should be paid attention to. This study aims to investigate the status and explore the predictors of stress among nucleic acid sampling support nurses (NASSNs) by an online survey.

Material and methods: Totally 388 NASSNs were recruited through cluster random sampling for the research. An online cross-sectional survey with structured questionnaires was used, including socio-demographic information, the stressor scale of nucleic acid sampling nurses (SSNASN), and the challenge-hindrance stress scale (CHSS). T-tests, ANOVA, and multivariable linear regression model were used to analyze data.

Results: A total of 324 NASSNs filled out questionnaires online with a response rate of 83.51%. NASSNs had an overall mean score of (2.199 ± 0.917) for challenge stress and (2.014 ± 0.805) for hindrance stress. The item "the amount of responsibility I have" scored highest in the challenge stress dimension, while "the lack of job security I have" scored highest in the hindrance stress dimension. The predictors of challenge and hindrance stress include concern about the preparedness of NASSNs and their families, working environment, and competence of emergency disposal. An additional socio-demographic predictor of challenge stress was motivation, while that of hindrance stress was longer nursing experiences.

Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic, stress among NASSNs was moderately low. The factors detected to be predictors of stress include motivation, nursing experiences, concern about the preparedness of NASSNs and their families, working environment, and competence in emergency disposal. Therefore, in advance of responding to a public health event, we recommend that subsequent short-term psychological counseling be given to healthcare workers and accompanying psychological counseling be provided to prevent the emergence of mental health problems thereafter.

COVID-19大流行期间核酸采样支持护士(nassn)的压力预测因素
背景:COVID-19大流行迫使核酸检测成为预防和控制的必要条件。开展核酸采集的医务人员应关注其心理和生理健康状况。本研究旨在通过在线调查了解核酸采样支持护士(NASSNs)的压力状况,并探讨其影响因素。材料与方法:采用整群随机抽样的方法,共招募388名nassn进行研究。采用在线横断面调查和结构化问卷,包括社会人口统计信息、核酸采样护士压力源量表(SSNASN)和挑战-障碍压力量表(CHSS)。采用t检验、方差分析和多变量线性回归模型对数据进行分析。结果:共有324名nassn在线填写问卷,回复率为83.51%。nassn在挑战应激和阻碍应激方面的平均得分分别为(2.199±0.917)分和(2.014±0.805)分。“我承担的责任”在挑战压力维度得分最高,而“我缺乏工作安全感”在阻碍压力维度得分最高。挑战压力和障碍压力的预测因素包括对nassn及其家庭的准备、工作环境和应急处理能力的关注。挑战压力的另一个社会人口学预测因子是动机,而阻碍压力的预测因子是较长的护理经验。结论:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,nassn的压力处于中低水平。被发现为压力预测因子的因素包括动机、护理经验、对nassn及其家人的准备程度的关注、工作环境和应急处理能力。因此,在应对公共卫生事件之前,我们建议对医护人员进行后续的短期心理咨询,并提供伴随的心理咨询,以防止之后出现心理健康问题。

期刊介绍: Human Resources for Health is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal covering all aspects of planning, producing and managing the health workforce - all those who provide health services worldwide. Human Resources for Health aims to disseminate research on health workforce policy, the health labour market, health workforce practice, development of knowledge tools and implementation mechanisms nationally and internationally; as well as specific features of the health workforce, such as the impact of management of health workers" performance and its link with health outcomes. The journal encourages debate on health sector reforms and their link with human resources issues, a hitherto-neglected area.
