Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the prevalence of depression and the related influencing factors among the frontline healthcare professionals in the prevention and control of risk of imported COVID-19 cases, so as to provide references for improving their mental health status. MethodsBased on Wenjuanxing platform, a total of 984 frontline healthcare professionals participating in the screening and treatment of imported COVID-19 cases in Beijing Xiaotangshan hospital were assessed using Patients’ Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item(PHQ-9). ResultsA total of 770 questionnaires were collected with a valid rate of 78.3%, among which 344 cases (44.7%) had depressive symptoms. Logistic regression analysis showed that great changes in work content (OR=2.206, P<0.01), sleep deprivation (OR=2.359, P<0.01), six hours or less of sleep (OR=2.032, P<0.05), focusing on epidemic information more than 1 hour per day (OR=1.095, P<0.05) were risk factors for depression, and regular exercise (OR=0.473, P<0.01) was a protective factor for depression relief. ConclusionThe frontline healthcare professionals in the prevention and control of risk of imported COVID-19 cases suffer a high risk of depression, while measures including scientific shift system, adequate sleep, less attention to the epidemic, and regular exercise may be effective in maintaining their physical and mental health.
