Abstract

Aim: To evaluate burnout, anxiety and depression levels in nurses directly involved in the care of Covid-19 patients. Furthermore, particular attention was paid to the existence of any differences between male and female nurses to evaluate whether the variables considered can be influenced by the gender variable. Design: A cohort case-report study was carry out. Sample: All Italian nurses who were at front line in the care of the Covid-19 patients were involved. Measurement: The on line questionnaire collected data as regards: gender and years of work experience;the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire (MBI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. Results: Certainly the experience of the pandemic was very emotional for nurses engaged in the front line in the care of Covid-19 patients. However, anxiety and depression levels turned out to be normal, while some nurses experienced them in the dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization of the burnout rating scale. Conclusion: The practical implication was the implementation of support policies for nurses in tackling the problem of burnout more than that of anxiety or depression.

从事新冠肺炎患者护理的意大利护士根据性别和工作经验的焦虑、倦怠和抑郁水平

目的：评估直接参与新冠肺炎患者护理的护士的倦怠、焦虑和抑郁水平。此外，还特别注意男女护士之间是否存在任何差异，以评估所考虑的变量是否会受到性别变量的影响。设计：进行一项队列病例报告研究。样本：所有在前线照顾新冠肺炎患者的意大利护士都参与了。测量：在线问卷收集了以下方面的数据：性别和工作经验年限；Maslach倦怠量表（MBI）和医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）。结果：对于在一线护理新冠肺炎患者的护士来说，疫情的经历无疑是非常激动人心的。然而，焦虑和抑郁水平被证明是正常的，而一些护士在倦怠评定量表的情绪衰竭和人格解体维度上经历了焦虑和抑郁。结论：实施支持政策对护士解决倦怠问题的实际意义大于对焦虑或抑郁问题的支持。
