背景：COVID-19与其他大流行病一样，对医生的身心健康造成了前所未有的威胁。这方面的文献很少。本研究旨在探讨医生对这一流行病的知识、态度和行为，以及这一流行病如何影响他们的抑郁、焦虑和压力水平。材料与方法：本次调查为期10天。数据收集的背景特征，知识，态度和行为的受访者在一个半结构化的形式，和精神疾病的发病率进行了测量的抑郁，焦虑和压力量表-21。共收到152份完整的答复。采用SPSS软件对数据进行分析。结果：在152名研究参与者中，34.9%的人患有抑郁症，39.5%和32.9%的人分别患有焦虑和压力。精神病发病率的重要预测因素是在卫生部门的经验，工作时间，使用的保护措施，利他主义的应对。多因素Logistic回归分析显示，抑郁、焦虑、应激水平与大部分因素有显著相关。讨论：在COVID大流行期间工作的医生精神病发病率很高。年龄和有多种合并症是重要的预测因素。应保证采取适当的保护措施。在这个紧迫的时刻，利他主义的应对和更大的目标感在医生群体中很重要。医生们正在尽自己最大的努力，同时也在保护病人的最大利益。一项大规模、多中心的研究可能会提供更全面的情况，并指导我们更好地规划和提供服务。
Background: COVID-19, like every other pandemic, has imposed an unprecedented threat to doctors' physical and mental health. Literature in this area is sparse. The present study has been done to explore the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of doctors regarding this pandemic and how it influences their depression, anxiety, and stress level. Materials and Methods: This online survey has been done for 10 days. Data were collected on background characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the respondents in a semi-structured pro forma, and psychiatric morbidity was measured by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21. A total of 152 complete responses have been received. The data were assessed using SPSS software. Results: Out of 152 study participants, 34.9% were depressed and 39.5% and 32.9% were having anxiety and stress, respectively. Significant predictors for psychiatric morbidities were experience in health sector, duty hours, use of protective measures, and altruistic coping. Multivariable logistic regression showed most of the factors to be significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and stress level. Discussion: Doctors who were working during COVID pandemic have a high prevalence of psychiatric morbidity. Age and having multiple comorbidities are significant predictive factors. Adequate protective measures should be warranted. Altruistic coping and a sense of greater goal are significant among the doctor community, in this pressing time. The doctors are pushing themselves to the best of their capacity and also protecting their patients' best interest. A large-scale, multicentric study will probably give a larger picture and will guide us for better service planning and delivery.
