ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
COVID-19 pandemic is having a devastating effect on the mental health and wellbeing of healthcare providers (HCPs) globally. This review is aimed at determining the prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress, fear, burnout and resilience and its associated factors among HCPs in Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We performed literature search using 4 databases from Medline, Cinahl, PubMed and Scopus from inception up to March 15, 2021 and selected relevant cross-sectional studies. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plot. Random effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence while risk factors were reported in odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI.RESULTS:
We included 148 studies with 159,194 HCPs and the pooled prevalence for depression was 37.5% (95%CI 33.8-41.3), anxiety 39.7(95%CI 34.3-45.1), stress 36.4% (95%CI 23.2-49.7), fear 71.3% (95%CI 54.6-88.0), burnout 68.3% (95%CI 54.0-82.5), and low resilience was 16.1% (95%CI 12.8-19.4), respectively. The heterogeneity was high (I2>99.4%). Meta-analysis reported that both females (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.30-1.68) and nurses (OR = 1.21; 95%CI = 1.02-1.45) were at increased risk of having depression and anxiety [(Female OR = 1.66; 95% CI = 1.49-1.85), (Nurse OR = 1.36; 95%CI = 1.16-1.58)]. Females were at increased risk of getting stress (OR = 1.59; 95%CI = 1.28-1.97).CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, one third of HCPs suffered from depression, anxiety and stress and more than two third of HCPs suffered from fear and burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia.
