| contents | <p> Background. The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has a great impact worldwide.<br> Healthcare workers play an essential role and are one of the most exposed groups.<br> Information about the psychosocial impact on healthcare workers is limited.<br> Methods. 3109 healthcare workers completed a national, internet-based, cross-sectional 45<br>item survey between 9 and 19 April 2020. The objective is to assess the psychological impact<br> of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spanish healthcare workers. A Psychological Stress and<br> Adaptation at work Score (PSAS) was defined combining four modified versions of validated<br> psychological assessment tests (A) Healthcare Stressful Test, (B) Coping Strategies Inventory,<br> (C) Font-Roja Questionnaire and (D) Trait Meta-Mood Scale.<br> Results. The highest psychosocial impact was perceived in Respiratory Medicine, the mean<br> (S.D.) PSAS was 48.3 (13.6) and Geriatrics 47.6 (16.4). Higher distress levels were found in<br> the geographical areas with the highest incidence of COVID-19 (>245.5 cases per 100000<br> people), PSAS 46.8 (15.2); p < 0.001. The least stress respondents were asymptomatic workers<br> PSAS, 41.3 (15.4); p < 0.001, as well as those above 60 years old, PSAS, 37.6 (16); p <0.001.<br> Workers who needed psychological therapy and did not receive it, were more stressed<br> PSAS 52.5 (13.6) than those who did not need it PSAS 39.7 (13.9); p<0.001.<br> Conclusions. The psychological impact in healthcare workers in Spain during COVID-19<br> emergency has been studied. The stress perceived is parallel to the number of cases per<br> 100 000 people. Psychotherapy could have a major role to mitigate the experimented stress<br> level.</p> |
