BACKGROUND: Healthcare workers fighting against the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic are under tremendous pressure, which puts them at an
increased risk of developing psychological problems. AIMS: This study aimed to
investigate the prevalence of psychological problems in different healthcare
workers (ie, physicians, medical residents, nurses, technicians and public health
professionals) during the COVID-19 pandemic in China and explore factors that are
associated with the onset of psychological problems in this population during
this public health crisis. METHODS: A cross-sectional, web-based survey was
conducted in February 2020 among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Psychological problems were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire and Insomnia Severity Index. Logistic
regression analyses were used to explore the factors that were associated with
psychological problems. RESULTS: The prevalence of symptoms of anxiety,
depression, insomnia and the overall psychological problems in healthcare workers
during the COVID-19 pandemic in China was 46.04%, 44.37%, 28.75% and 56.59%,
respectively. The prevalence of the overall psychological problems in physicians,
medical residents, nurses, technicians and public health professionals was
60.35%, 50.82%, 62.02%, 57.54% and 62.40%, respectively. Compared with healthcare
workers who did not participate in front-line work, front-line healthcare workers
had a higher risk of anxiety, insomnia and overall psychological problems. In
addition, attention to negative or neutral information about the pandemic,
receiving negative feedback from families and friends who joined front-line work,
and unwillingness to join front-line work if given a free choice were three major
factors for these psychological problems. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological problems are
pervasive among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Receiving
negative information and participating in front-line work appear to be important
risk factors for psychological problems. The psychological health of different
healthcare workers should be protected during the COVID-19 pandemic with timely
interventions and proper information feedback.
