目的：2020年3月12日，世界卫生组织宣布一种新型冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)暴发，成为一种大流行。从一开始，意大利(特别是北部地区)就是第一个受到影响的欧洲大国，也是全球受影响最严重的国家之一。这对卫生工作者的工作量和心理健康产生了重大影响。这项基于网络的横断面研究的目的是评估新冠肺炎大流行对意大利医生在封锁期间的人口统计和职业特征、生活方式和习惯的影响。方法和方法：我们基于谷歌(R)表格进行了一项基于网络的横断面调查以收集数据。参与活动是在意大利2020年3月9日开始的封锁期间进行的，是自愿和匿名的。问卷调查了人口和职业变量，封锁期间的生活方式和习惯，感知的幸福感和心理痛苦。结果：本研究报道了意大利医生的心理状况，尤其是那些在受影响最严重的地区工作的医生，那里的心理困扰程度为93.8%，幸福感差的比例为58.9%。在工作年资较低的女性医院工作人员和照顾新冠肺炎患者的女性中，这一比例甚至更高。结论：我们的研究结果报告了新冠肺炎疫情对意大利医生的心理社会影响，特别是在该国受影响最严重的地区工作的医生。有必要进行进一步的研究，以更好地了解随着时间的推移，新冠肺炎大流行对医生福祉和心理健康的影响，以便实施有效的预防措施。
OBJECTIVE: On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), to be a pandemic. From the beginning, Italy (in particular the Northern regions) was the first large European country to be hit and one of the most affected countries worldwide. This had a significant impact on the workload and psychological health of health workers. The aim of this web-based cross-sectional study is to assess the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian doctors' well-being and psychological distress, in respect of demographic and occupational characteristics, lifestyle and habits during the lockdown period.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a web-based cross-sectional survey based on Google(R) Forms to collect data. The participation was available during the lockdown period that started in Italy on March 9, 2020 and it was voluntary and anonymous. The questionnaire explored demographic and occupational variables, lifestyle and habits during the lockdown, perceived well-being and psychological distress. Multivariate logistic regression models were fitted.RESULTS: Our study reported the very alarming psychological conditions of Italian doctors, especially among those who worked in the most affected regions, where a level of psychological distress of 93.8% and poor well-being of 58.9% were registered. These percentages were even higher in the case of female hospital workers with low job seniority, and those caring for COVID-19 patients.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reported a significant psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on Italian doctors, particularly among those working in the most affected regions of the country. Further studies are necessary to better understand the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on doctors' well-being and mental health over time, in order to implement effective prevention measures.
