COVID-19大流行期间急诊科医护人员对患者态度和行为的研究
背景:新冠肺炎疫情对患者的心理影响是众所周知的。背景与目的:本研究的主要目的是研究急诊科医护人员(HCPs)在COVID-19大流行期间对慢性患者的态度和行为以及COVID-19期间医疗保健系统的可及性,并将其与COVID-19前进行比较。材料与方法:采用随机抽样方法,采用预先设计的《急诊科患者满意度简易量表》问卷,记录患者对医疗服务的满意度。结果:入住急诊科的患者对新冠肺炎前期急诊科的护理和医生的护理感到非常满意。在新冠肺炎期间,同一组入院的患者感到医护人员对他们的行为和态度有所恶化。在新冠肺炎期间,30%的患者认为急诊科的一般服务明显恶化。该研究还观察到,在COVID大流行期间,急诊科医护人员的态度和行为发生了显著变化。结论:新冠肺炎显著改变了医护人员的态度和行为。这种疾病严重改变了医务人员的工作环境和治疗病人的方法。必须采用富有成效的策略来照顾我们HCP的健康。
