COVID-19大流行既依赖于研究部门和公共卫生部门的相关专家，也给他们带来了沉重的负担。大流行给医护人员等应对者带来的持续高压力，可能导致持久的心理影响，包括急性应激障碍、创伤后应激障碍、倦怠和道德伤害，从而影响个人福祉和生产力。方法作为传染病建模社区的成员，我们召开了一次反思研讨会，以了解应对工作对我们社区的专业和个人影响，并为未来的流行病应对提出建议。与会者代表了一系列的职业阶段、机构和学科。这件作品是由在场的人根据我们的集体经验共同创作的。我们在研讨会上发现的主要问题是缺乏机构支持、不安全的合同、不平等的信用和认可以及心理健康影响。我们的建议包括奖励有影响力的工作，促进学术界与公共卫生的合作，通过发展团队减少对关键个人的依赖，提高决策的透明度，以及实施可持续的工作实践。尽管代表性有限，但本次研讨会为英国COVID-19建模经验提供了宝贵见解，并为未来的公共卫生危机提供了指导。我们认为，认识和解决突出的问题对于确保今后流行病应对工作的有效性至关重要。
Background The COVID-19 pandemic both relied and placed significant burdens on the experts involved from research and public health sectors. The sustained high pressure of a pandemic on responders, such as healthcare workers, can lead to lasting psychological impacts including acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout, and moral injury, which can impact individual wellbeing and productivity. Methods As members of the infectious disease modelling community, we convened a reflective workshop to understand the professional and personal impacts of response work on our community and to propose recommendations for future epidemic responses. The attendees represented a range of career stages, institutions, and disciplines. This piece was collectively produced by those present at the session based on our collective experiences. Results Key issues we identified at the workshop were lack of institutional support, insecure contracts, unequal credit and recognition, and mental health impacts. Our recommendations include rewarding impactful work, fostering academia-public health collaboration, decreasing dependence on key individuals by developing teams, increasing transparency in decision-making, and implementing sustainable work practices. Conclusions Despite limitations in representation, this workshop provided valuable insights into the UK COVID-19 modelling experience and guidance for future public health crises. Recognising and addressing the issues highlighted is crucial, in our view, for ensuring the effectiveness of epidemic response work in the future.
