本研究的主要目的是报告新冠肺炎疫情对职业生涯早、中期从事医疗科学研究的女性研究人员的压力和焦虑水平，并确定相关因素。使用Likert类型量表和开放式回答问题的组合，开发了一份包含50个项目的自填式互联网问卷。这项调查于2020年6月10日至8月3日发布。焦虑和压力以及个人/家庭需求通过有效的测量(患者报告结果测量信息系统[PROMIS]-焦虑简表和感知压力量表[PSS])和开放式反应来评估。151名从事医疗保健科学研究的早期女性完成了这项调查；平均受访者年龄为37.30±5.20岁；所有女性都拥有大专或以上学历，50.3%拥有博士学位，35.8%拥有医学博士学位。有128人报告了种族和民族；大多数是白人(74.0%)。1/3(31.2%)的受访者表示，他们“非常”担心能否达到他们的研究效率目标，30.1%的受访者“非常”关注学术晋升和终身教职。50%的人报告的PSS评分为“中等”，72.1%的人报告的PSS评分为“中等”。对于开放式回答，65.6%的人表示因为新冠肺炎疫情而对自己的职业目标感到担忧。主要的担忧围绕着经济、儿童保育和工作保障。在整个大流行期间，从事医疗科学研究的职业早期和中期女性报告了总体上中等到高度的压力、焦虑和担忧。这些问题似乎与家庭环境、额外的责任、经济问题和研究生产率下降有关。各机构和资助机构应考虑到这些关切，并提供支持。
The main objective of this study was to report stress and anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic on early- to mid-career women researchers in healthcare sciences research and determine the associated factors. A 50-item self-administered internet questionnaire was developed using a mix of Likert-type scales and open-ended response questions. The survey was distributed June 10–August 3, 2020. Anxiety and stress as well as personal/family demands were assessed through validated measures (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [PROMIS]-Anxiety Short Form and Perceived Stress Scale [PSS]) and open-ended responses. One hundred and fifty-one early-career women in healthcare sciences research completed the survey; mean respondent age was 37.3 ± 5.2 years; and all had a college degree or higher, 50.3% holding a PhD and 35.8% MD. Race and ethnicity were reported in 128; the majority were White (74.0%). One-third (31.2%) reported being “very much” concerned about reaching their research productivity goals and 30.1% were “very much” concerned about academic promotion and tenure. Fifty percent reported a “moderate” PROMIS anxiety score and 72.1% reported a “moderate” PSS score. For the open-ended responses, 65.6% reported a worry about their professional goals because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Major concerns revolved around finances, childcare, and job security. Throughout the pandemic, early- and mid-career women in healthcare sciences research have reported moderate to high overall stress, anxiety, and worries. These concerns appear related to household settings, additional responsibilities, financial concerns, and reduced research productivity. Institutions and funding agencies should take these concerns into consideration and offer support.
