Anxiety and burnout among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 circuit breaker in a Women's and Children's Hospital in Singapore

ABSTRACT

The only factor statistically significantly associated with anxiety was job dedication, where a higher level of job dedication was associated with decreased likelihood of the worker having high levels of anxiety (odds ratio (OR)=0.545;95% confidence interval (CI) 0.301;0.990) (Table 1). [...]participation in the study was voluntary and 95% of our participants were females, which may indicate a self-selection bias. [...]being a cross-sectional survey, our research is only a snapshot in time. [...]we wish to highlight the need for advanced interventions in times of crisis to address mental-health concerns of employees and to safeguard their emotional and psychological wellbeing.
