Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly changed everyday life around the world. The situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to be associated with severe mental health problems in frontline medical and nursing staff. The aim of this study was to investigate exhaustion, disengagement, secondary traumatic stress, compassion satisfaction, burnout, as well as depression, anxiety and stress among internists in Greece, during the second lockdown period. Internists were approached through the Internal Medicine Society of Greece and a total of 117 participated in the study (response rate: 15.3%). The participants responded through a Google form on the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and the Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5 (ProQOL-5). Exhaustion was found in the majority of the participants (88%), 65.8% met the criteria for at least moderate levels of compassion satisfaction and 71.8% presented moderate levels of burnout. Furthermore, about half of the participants met the criteria for moderate to extremely severe levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Finally, regression analyses showed that depression was associated with both the OLBI and ProQOL-5 scales. The majority of the internists, during the lockdown period in Greece, were evaluated as "exhausted", with high rates of negative psychological symptoms. The present study, despite the limitations, highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on internists, which triggered a shift in attention onto the treatment, and especially the prevention, of stressful situations for health professionals.
希腊医疗保健系统的疲劳和倦怠:COVID-19封锁期间内科医生的横断面研究。
COVID-19大流行迅速改变了世界各地的日常生活。新冠肺炎大流行造成的局势已被证明与一线医护人员严重的心理健康问题有关。本研究的目的是调查希腊内科医生在第二次封锁期间的疲劳、脱离、继发性创伤压力、同情满意度、倦怠以及抑郁、焦虑和压力。通过希腊内科医学会(Internal Medicine Society of Greece)联系内科医生,共有117人参与了这项研究(回复率:15.3%)。参与者通过抑郁、焦虑和压力量表- 21、Oldenburg倦怠量表(OLBI)和职业生活质量量表第5版(ProQOL-5)的谷歌表进行回应。大多数参与者(88%)感到疲惫,65.8%的人满足至少中等程度的同情满意度标准,71.8%的人表现出中等程度的倦怠。此外,大约一半的参与者符合中度到极严重程度的抑郁、焦虑和压力的标准。最后,回归分析显示抑郁与OLBI和ProQOL-5量表均相关。在希腊封锁期间,大多数内科医生被评估为“疲惫不堪”,出现负面心理症状的比例很高。尽管存在局限性,但本研究强调了COVID-19大流行对内科医生的影响,这引发了对卫生专业人员压力情况的治疗,特别是预防的注意力转移。
