背景和目标：与冠状病毒病（COVID-19）危机有关的虚假信息通过社交媒体和其他渠道迅速传播，使民众不堪重负。我们的目的是调查受信息血症影响的一线医护人员是否表现出与一线临床医生不同的心理后果，这些一线临床医生没有声称受到与COVID-19大流行相关的虚假消息的影响。材料和方法：来自罗马尼亚重症监护室（ICU）和急诊科的126名一线医护人员在2020年3月至4月期间完成了一项调查，以评估压力，抑郁，焦虑和睡眠障碍。我们根据自我评估标准将一线医护人员样本分为两组：他们是否在活动中受到信息血症的影响。结果如下：考虑到横断面设计、缺乏因果关系和样本量等限制，结果显示，声称受到虚假消息影响的一线医务人员比未受到与流行时间相关的虚假消息影响的医务人员更紧张，感到更焦虑，失眠更严重。结论：在COVID-19危机爆发期间，信息血症对已经不堪重负的医生和护士产生了重大的心理后果，如压力、焦虑和失眠。这些发现表明，在COVID-19大流行期间对一线医护人员实施不同干预措施时，必须考虑医疗错误信息的心理影响。
Background and Objectives: The population has been overwhelmed with false information related to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis, spreading rapidly through social media and other channels. We aimed to investigate if frontline healthcare workers affected by infodemia show different psychological consequences than frontline clinicians who do not declare to be affected by false news related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: One hundred twenty-six frontline healthcare workers from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Departments in Romania completed a survey to assess stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders, between March and April 2020. We split the sample of frontline healthcare workers into two groups based on the self-evaluated criteria: if they were or were not affected by infodemia in their activity. Results: Considering limitations such as the cross-sectional design, the lack of causality relationship, and the sample size, the results show that, the frontline medical workers who declared to be affected by false news were significantly more stressed, felt more anxiety, and suffered more from insomnia than healthcare workers who are not affected by false information related to pandemic time. Conclusions: The infodemia has significant psychological consequences such as stress, anxiety, and insomnia on already overwhelmed doctors and nurses in the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis. These findings suggest that medical misinformation’s psychological implications must be considered when different interventions regarding frontline healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic are implemented.
