Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective. Our objective is to investigate and analyze the psychological status of medical staff in a designated community hospital for COVID-19.Methods. We conducted a survey on medical staff in a designated community hospital for COVID-19 among the during-pandemic group (n = 120) and the after-pandemic group (n = 34). The symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) questionnaire was used as a self-report instrument for the measurement of psychopathological complaints.Results. The during-pandemic group consisted of 120 individuals, including doctors (n = 36), nurses (n = 69) and technicians (n = 15). The SCL-90 sum scores showed no difference among doctors, nurses, and technicians (P > 0.05), but the somatization (SOM) item-scores of nurses were significantly higher than those of doctors and technicians (all P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the paranoid ideation (PAR) item-scores of nurses were significantly higher than those of doctors (P < 0.05). The after-pandemic group consisted only of nurses (n = 34). The score of each dimension of SCL-90 in nurses after the pandemic were relatively lower than that in nurses during the pandemic.Conclusions. Our study showed that nurses suffered with more psychological symptoms when fighting against COVID-19. The emergence of COVID-19 was the main factor leading to psychological problems of nurses.
