摘要

背景:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行严重影响了卫生保健部门,给帮助抗击这一疾病的放射诊断技师等专业人员带来了压力。目的:本研究探讨了COVID-19大流行对放射诊断技师造成的职业压力和压力源,包括在未来大流行期间使用的应对策略和可用于减轻压力影响的干预措施。研究对象:纳米比亚放射诊断技师。方法:采用定量描述性研究方法,采用电子调查收集数据。统计分析使用了社会科学统计软件包第26版。结果:在接受调查的90名放射诊断技师中,工作量增加、害怕感染病毒并将其传播给他人是造成COVID-19职业相关压力的主要因素。与家人和朋友共度美好时光,培养兴趣爱好,冥想和参加精神或宗教活动是一些用来减轻压力的应对策略。在类似大流行期间,采取奖励措施、建立社交网络和提供心理支持是可以减轻职业压力影响的首选干预措施。结论:新冠肺炎大流行给放射诊断技师带来了显著的职业压力。在本文所述的类似大流行期间,鼓励卫生保健雇主提供某些奖励和心理支持。贡献:放射照相管理人员可考虑采用灵活的工作时间、提供足够的人员、参与和共同决策,以减轻未来类似大流行病期间的压力。

Occupational stress among Namibian diagnostic radiographers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Occupational stress among Namibian diagnostic radiographers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Occupational stress among Namibian diagnostic radiographers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Occupational stress among Namibian diagnostic radiographers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected the health care sectors, causing stress among professionals such as diagnostic radiographers who helped fight this disease.

Aim: This study explored occupational stress and stressors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic among diagnostic radiographers including coping strategies used and interventions that may be used to mitigate the effects of stress during future pandemics.

Setting: The study was conducted among Namibian diagnostic radiographers.

Methods: An electronic survey was used to collect data using a quantitative descriptive research approach. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 was used for statistical analysis.

Results: Among the 90 diagnostic radiographers who responded to the survey, an increase in the workload, fear of contracting the virus and spreading it to others, were the main contributors of COVID-19 occupational-related stressors. Spending quality time with family and friends, developing hobbies and meditating and taking part in spiritual or religious activities were some coping strategies used to reduce stress. The introduction of incentives, social networking and provision of psychological support were preferred interventions that could mitigate the effects of occupational stress during similar pandemics.

Conclusion: Diagnostic radiographers endured significant occupational stress because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Health care employers are encouraged to provide certain incentives and psychological support during similar pandemics as described in this article.

Contribution: Radiography managers may consider the introduction of flexible working hours, provision of adequate staffing, participation and shared decision-making to mitigate stress during similar future pandemics.
