摘要

背景新冠肺炎大流行显著增加了卫生专业人员的压力和压力。本研究以儿科心脏护理为重点,探讨了卫生专业人员对新冠肺炎的担忧、对大流行对医疗保健影响的看法以及心理压力的体验。方法邀请在澳大利亚一家大型四级医院工作的儿科健康专业人员在2020年6月至2021年2月期间完成一项调查。评估人口统计学因素、临床角色特征以及焦虑和抑郁症状。还收集了关于大流行对儿科心脏护理的经历和感知影响的定性数据。结果228名卫生专业人员(152名护士、37名医生、22名专职和心理健康专业人员、17名医学研究和行政人员)参与了调查(54.4%的应答率,85%为女性)。一半的样本(52.2%)支持对新冠肺炎的“中度”至“极度”担忧,38%的参与者认为医疗服务在“很大”或“非常大”程度上受到疫情的不利影响。近五分之一的卫生专业人员报告焦虑(18%),11%的人报告抑郁症状,表明需要临床干预。定性数据中确定了六个主题:(1)对访客限制和患者服务中断的后果的担忧,(2)医护人员的压力加剧,(3)恐惧和失落感,(4)社会孤立和脱节,(5)适应变化,(6)感恩,需要采取干预措施来满足卫生专业人员在疫情期间和之后的心理健康需求,以最大限度地减少情境压力的深远影响。

“The usual challenges of work are all magnified”: Australian paediatric health professionals’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased stress and strain on health professionals. With a focus on paediatric cardiac care, this study explored health professionals’ concerns about COVID-19, perceptions of the impact of pandemic on healthcare, and experiences of psychological stress.

Methods

Paediatric health professionals working at a large quaternary hospital in Australia were invited to complete a survey between June 2020 and February 2021. Demographic factors, clinical role characteristics, and anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed. Qualitative data on experiences and perceived effects of the pandemic on paediatric cardiac care were also collected.

Results

228 health professionals (152 nurses, 37 medical doctors, 22 allied and mental health professionals, 17 medical research and administrative staff) participated in the survey (54.4% response rate, 85% women). Half the sample (52.2%) endorsed ‘moderate’ to ‘extreme’ worry about COVID-19 and 38% of participants perceived healthcare services as adversely impacted by the pandemic to a ‘great’ or ‘very great’ extent. Almost one in five health professionals reported anxiety (18%) and 11% reported depressive symptoms indicative of a need for clinical intervention. Six themes were identified in the qualitative data: (1) Concern about the consequences of visitor restrictions and disrupted patient services, (2) Intensified strain on healthcare workers, (3) Feelings of fear and loss, (4) Social isolation and disconnection, (5) Adapting to change, and (6) Gratitude.

Conclusion

Timely, tailored policies, supports, and interventions are needed to address health professionals’ mental health needs during and beyond the pandemic, to minimize the far-reaching impact of situational stressors.
