Abstract

Aim: We investigated the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on social support and anxiety levels in healthcare professionals working in maternity services situated in Trabzon, Turkey.

Materials and methods: Our study was designed retrospectively and observationally. Social support to the participants was measured using a scale called the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS). State anxiety scale (STAI TX-1) and trait anxiety scale (STAI TX-2) were used to determine the level of anxiety. All scales were measured before and during the pandemic. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data where p < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: The participants' demographic data (n = 96) included the mean age of doctors (n = 30), midwives (n = 34), and nurses (n = 32) which were 41.38 ± 4.16/38.58 ± 1.79/37.34 ± 2.19, respectively. Mean gravida was 1.69 ± 2.87/2.23 ± 0.12/2.31 ± 0.14, respectively. Mean BMI was 24.69 ± 2.87/26.04 ± 0.8/25.69 ± 1.98 in the same order (p > 0.05). The total mean values of the MSPSS, STAI TX-1, STAI TX-2 scales before and during the pandemic were found as 66.55 ± 6.63 - 55.25 ± 4.76, 36.71 ± 10.04 - 50.08 ± 11.65, 37.33 ± 8.09 - 53.32 ± 9.94, respectively. A significant difference was found for the mean of all scales amongst the groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of healthcare workers were deprived of social support and their anxiety levels increased.

目的:我们调查了2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情对土耳其特拉布宗(Trabzon)孕产妇服务医护人员社会支持和焦虑水平的影响。材料和方法:本研究采用回顾性观察设计。对参与者的社会支持使用一种称为感知社会支持多维尺度(MSPSS)的量表进行测量。采用状态焦虑量表(STAI TX-1)和特质焦虑量表(STAI TX-2)测定焦虑水平。在大流行之前和期间测量了所有量表。结果:受试者人口统计学资料(n = 96)包括医生(n = 30)、助产士(n = 34)和护士(n = 32)的平均年龄，分别为41.38±4.16/38.58±1.79/37.34±2.19。平均妊娠分别为1.69±2.87/2.23±0.12/2.31±0.14。平均BMI分别为24.69±2.87/26.04±0.8/25.69±1.98 (p > 0.05)。MSPSS、STAI TX-1、STAI TX-2量表流行前和流行期间的总平均值分别为66.55±6.63 ~ 55.25±4.76、36.71±10.04 ~ 50.08±11.65、37.33±8.09 ~ 53.32±9.94。结论:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，大量医护人员被剥夺了社会支持，其焦虑水平上升。
