Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the presence/severity of depression, anxiety, and stress among health care workers (HCWs) who work on the specially allocated COVID-19 ward (Group A) and HCWs on the other wards (Group B).

Methods: This questionnaire-based study was conducted from January 25 to February 28, 2021. The mental status was assessed using the Persian version of the 42-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress score (DASS-42). Gathered data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. The independent T-test and Chi-square tests were used to compare quantitative and qualitative variables.

Results: Two-hundred and twenty two questionnaires were eligible for analysis. Group A consisted of 33 HCWs, and 189 (85.1%) individuals were working on the other wards. No statistically significant differences were seen regarding the Socio-demographic features except for the marital status (p=0.005). The depressions' mean score was comparable between group A and B (p=0.102). The mean scores of anxiety and stress were significantly lower in group A than group B (p=0.006), although the frequency of DASS-42 parameters did not differ between these two groups (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Contrary to our assumptions, this study showed that the DASS-42 parameters were not higher in HCWs working on the COVID-19 wards. This might be justified by developing coping mechanisms, being on the honeymoon phase of the disaster, compassion satisfaction, promising vaccine news, and working on the less impacted hospital.

新型冠状病毒肺炎大流行期间的焦虑和压力似乎是暂时的:对医护人员心理健康状况的调查

目的:了解新型冠状病毒病区(A组)和其他病区(B组)医护人员抑郁、焦虑和压力的存在及严重程度。方法:于2021年1月25日至2月28日进行问卷调查。使用波斯语版42项抑郁、焦虑和压力评分(DASS-42)评估精神状态。收集的数据使用SPSS version 25进行分析。定量变量和定性变量的比较采用独立t检验和卡方检验。结果:符合分析条件的问卷共222份。A组33名HCWs, 189名(85.1%)在其他病房工作。除婚姻状况外，社会人口统计学特征差异无统计学意义(p=0.005)。A组和B组的抑郁平均评分具有可比性(p=0.102)。A组患者焦虑和压力的平均得分显著低于B组(p=0.006)，但两组间DASS-42参数出现频率无显著差异(p>0.05)。结论:与我们的假设相反，本研究显示在COVID-19病房工作的医护人员的DASS-42参数并不更高。通过发展应对机制，处于灾难的蜜月期，同情满足，有希望的疫苗新闻，以及在受影响较小的医院工作，这可能是合理的。
