Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the work stress of medical staff at different medical institutions in Shanghai under the background of normalized prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases(COVID-19), for evidence of relieving the work stress of medical staff.Methods:From September to November 2020, two community health service centers, one secondary hospital and one tertiary hospital were selected from each district of Jing′an District, Jiading District and Pudong New Area of Shanghai, totaling 12 medical institutions. The medical staff were selected by stratified random sampling. A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online questionnaire survey on the work stress of medical staff. The survey data were analysied by descriptive analysis, and different groups were compared with chi square test.Results:1 422 valid questionnaires were obtained. There was a significant difference in self-rated routine work stress of medical staff between community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals( P<0.001). The proportions of medical staff whose self-rated routine work stress was " quite stressed" or " very stressed" at community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals were 39.77%(317)and 55.36%(346)respectively. There was a significant difference in self-rated COVID-19 prevention stress of medical staff between community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals( P<0.001), the proportions of medical staff who considered the COVID-19 prevention was " quite stressed" or " very stressed" were 86.45%(689)and 76.48%(478)respectively. Conclusions:The overall work stress of medical staff at medical institutions in Shanghai was high.The prevention and control of COVID-19 increased the pressure of medical staff at all levels of medical institutions.
