Faktory ovplyvňujúce duševné zdravie sestier v období pandémie covidu-19

Súhrn Úvod: Zdravotnícki pracovníci, predovšetkým sestry, môžu byť v exponovanom období počas pandémie covidu-19 vystavení zvýšenej psychickej záťaži. Cieľ: Zistiť, aký je dopad zvýšených nárokov na poskytovanie zdravotnej starostlivosti spojený s koronakrízou, na úroveň psychickej záťaže a kvality života sestier na rôznych pracoviskách. Metodika: Prierezová, prieskumná štúdia merania duševného zdravia u 504 sestier. Bol použitý štandardizovaný dotazník SF-36 a Meisterov dotazník miery neuropsychickej záťaže. Výsledky: Škála preťaženia a monotónnosti významne (p < 0,05) a negatívne (r < 0) koreluje s kvalitou života v každej z domén. Celková záťaž významne (p < 0,05) a negatívne (r < 0) koreluje s kvalitou života v každej z domén. Vek respondentov významne (p < 0,05) a pozitívne (r > 0) koreluje s kvalitou života v doménach vitalita, mentálne zdravie a duševné zdravie a negatívne (r < 0) koreluje s kvalitou života v oblastiach fyzické fungovanie, telesná bolesť, celkové vnímanie zdravia a celkové fyzické zdravie. Záťaž signifikantne lepšie zvládali muži. Signifikantne vyššia bola v skupine respondentov pracujúcich na jednotkách intenzívnej starostlivosti a v primárnej zdravotnej starostlivosti. Záver: Zvýšené nároky na poskytovanie zdravotnej starostlivosti spojené s koronakrízou negatívne pôsobili na úroveň psychickej záťaže a kvalitu života sestier. Horšie výsledky boli zaznamenané u sestier pracujúcich na jednotkách intenzívnej starostlivosti a v primárnej zdravotnej starostlivosti.Alternate :Introduction: Health care workers, especially nurses, may be exposed to increased psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: To determine how the increased demands on health care delivery associated with the coronavirus crisis affect the level of psychological stress and quality of life of nurses in different workplaces. Methods: A cross-sectional exploratory study of mental health in 504 nurses. The standardized SF-36 questionnaire and Meister's questionnaire for neuropsychological strain were used. Results: The overload and monotony scales are significantly (p < 0.05) and negatively (r < 0) correlated with quality of life in each of the domains. The total load is significantly (p < 0.05) and negatively (r < 0) correlated with quality of life in each of the domains. The age of respondents is significantly (p < 0.05) and positively (r < 0) correlated with quality of life in the domains of Vitality, Mental Health, and Mental Component Summary, and negatively (r > 0) correlated with quality of life in the domains of Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, General Health, and Physical Component Summary. Men handled the stress significantly better. Stress levels were significantly higher in the group of respondents working in intensive care units and in primary care. Conclusions: The increased demands on health care delivery associated with the coronavirus crisis had a negative impact on the level of psychological load and the quality of life of nurses. Worse results were found in nurses working in intensive care units and in primary care.

Assessment of selected psychosocial risk factors: stress, job burnout, and bullying in the case of medical staff as part of workplace ergonomics during the COVID-19 pandemic-A prospective pilot study.

Background: The purpose of the pilot study conducted by the authors was to assess occupational risk in selected areas of psychosocial risk factors among health professions in a pilot study. Medical staff working in the healthcare sector experience stress, job burnout and bullying on a daily basis. Monitoring occupational risks in the above areas provides an opportunity to take appropriate preventive measures. Methods: The prospective online survey included 143 health care workers from various professional groups. Eighteen participants did not complete the survey, and the results of 125 participants were eventually included in the analysis. The study used health and safety questionnaires in the healthcare sector, which are not widely used as screening tools in Poland. Results: The following statistical methods were performed in the study: the Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Dunn's test. In addition, multivariate analysis was performed. The results obtained in the study indicate that the questionnaires used in the study can be widely used by employers or occupational medicine as screening tools. Conclusions: Our findings show that level of education attainment in healthcare is correlated with higher chance of experiencing stress and burnout. Among the surveyed professions, nurses reported a higher amount of stress and burnout. Paramedics reported the highest chance of being bullied at work. This can be explained by their nature of work which requires directly interacting with patients and their families. In addition, it should be noted that the tools used can be successfully applied in workplaces as elements of workplace ergonomics assessment in the context of cognitive ergonomics.

Perception of Work-Related Stress and Quality of Life among Nurses during COVID-19 Pandemic-An International, Multicenter Prospective Study.

The major focus of the study was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers' mental health. Nurses are the workers who were exposed to pandemic-related stress, being the most affected. The present cross-sectional study was focused on finding out the differences of the level of work-related stress and quality of life in nurses of the three Central European states, specifically the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, and Poland. A structured anonymous online questionnaire was created, and then the link was distributed to the target population through executives. Data analysis was performed by using the R programme-version 4.1.3. The study found that nurses from the Czech Republic achieved lower stress levels and had a higher quality of life than nurses from Poland and Slovakia.
