Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the psychological stress and related factors of community medical staff in Shanghai during infectious public health emergencies.Methods:Random cluster sampling, questionnaires combining general demographic information, self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), self-rating depression scale(SDS)and yale-brown obsessive compulsive scale(YB)were administrated to investigate the psychological stress of medical staff from 20 community healthcare centers in 10 Shanghai districts.Results:A total of 696 valid questionnaires were collected. 17.36% of the staff had SAS scores exceeding the boundary value. Nurses, staff with per capita monthly family income<5 000 yuan, or with below-average family relations presented higher SAS scores. 28.19% of the staff had SDS scores exceeding the boundary value. Staff with 5-10 years seniority, nurses, with per capita monthly family income<5 000 yuan, and with poor family relations presented higher SDS scores. 6.68% of the staff had YB score≥16. Nurses presented a higher YB score.Conclusions:Some community healthcare center staff experienced psychological stress during public health emergencies.Factors associated with psychological stress, such as 5-10 years′ seniority, nurses, per capita monthly family income<5 000 yuan, below-average or poor family relations, deserve more attention in order to prevent from or alleviate harmful psychological stress.
