Abstract

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the oil and gas industry had to adopt coping strategies. These changes might contribute to early increased mental health issues among workers. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors to early post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among healthy Indonesian oil and gas field workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to January 2021. We investigated healthy field employees working during the pandemic. Data on the subjects' PTSD symptoms were collected using the PTSD Checklist-Civilian (PCL-C) Version.

Results: A total of 1542 completed forms were analyzed. The prevalence of PTSD symptoms was 44.8%, with 9.1% of very severe forms. Independent factors associated with PTSD symptoms were female gender (p = .013, OR 1.72 [95% CI 1.12-2.63]), change in work system (p = .006, OR 1.37 [95% CI 1.09-1.71]), increased workload (p < .001, OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.63-2.71]), and decreased income (p = .041, OR 1.44 [95% CI 1.02-2.05]).

Conclusion: The COVID-19 crisis and its impact on working conditions were significant stressors that contributed to a high prevalence of PTSD symptoms among oil and gas company workers. Therefore, implementing well-being programs is essential during acute challenges that lead to changes in work systems.

健康油气田工作人员急性应激暴露和早期创伤后应激障碍症状：来自COVID-19危机的教训

导语：在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，油气行业不得不采取应对策略。这些变化可能会导致工人心理健康问题的早期增加。本研究旨在评估2019冠状病毒病大流行期间印度尼西亚健康油气田工作人员早期创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状的患病率及其相关因素。方法：于2020年11月至2021年1月进行横断面研究。我们调查了在大流行期间工作的健康现场员工。使用PTSD -平民（PCL-C）版本收集被试PTSD症状的数据。结果：共分析填写表格1542份。PTSD症状的患病率为44.8%，其中非常严重的比例为9.1%。与PTSD症状相关的独立因素为女性（p = 0.013, OR 1.72 [95% CI 1.12-2.63]）、工作制度改变（p = 0.006, OR 1.37 [95% CI 1.09-1.71]）、工作量增加（p < 0.001, OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.63-2.71]）和收入减少（p = 0.041, OR 1.44 [95% CI 1.02-2.05]）。结论：新冠肺炎危机及其对工作条件的影响是导致油气公司员工PTSD患病率高的重要压力源。因此，在面临导致工作系统变化的严峻挑战时，实施福利计划至关重要。
