导论.中东呼吸综合征（MERS）的爆发对沙特阿拉伯的卫生系统产生了相当大的负面影响。我们的目的是研究中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）爆发对急诊室住院医生（ERRP）的心理影响。方法.我们使用自我报告问卷评估了MERS相关的心理影响和ERRP的担忧。结果大多数（91%）的ERRP同意他们的工作使他们处于感染风险之中，但大多数（65%）不同意他们不应该照顾感染MERS的患者。尽管如此，54%的ERRP表示害怕被感染患者感染，只有4.2%的人愿意改变目前的工作。大多数ERRP（85%）认为他们的工作会使家人面临感染风险。结论.我们的研究证明了MERS爆发对ERRP的相当大的心理影响。医院决策者应该更详细地考虑ERRP的担忧和MERS爆发的心理影响。
Introduction. Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreaks have had a considerable negative impact on health systems in Saudi Arabia. We aimed to study the psychological impact of a Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak on emergency room resident physicians (ERRPs). Methods. We assessed the MERS- related psychological impact and concerns of ERRPs using a self-report questionnaire. Results. The majority (91%) of the ERRPs agreed that their work put them at risk of infection, but most (65%) did not agree that they should not be looking after patients infected with MERS. Despite that, 54% of ERRPs reported being afraid of contracting the infection from infected patients and only 4.2% of them were willing to change their current job. The majority of the ERRPs (85%) felt that their job would expose their families to risk of infection. Conclusions. Our study demonstrated the considerable psychological impact of MERS outbreaks on ERRPs. The ERRPs' concerns and the psychological impact of MERS outbreaks should be considered in greater detail by hospital policymakers.
