2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）已被宣布为国际关注的灾难和突发公共卫生事件。参与护理这些COVID患者的卫生保健工作者（HCW）由于直接暴露于导致本研究的疾病相关疾病，因此自身面临患精神疾病的额外风险。目的：本研究旨在使用灾难心理健康筛查问卷（SQD）评估COVID-19大流行对HCW的心理社会影响。材料和方法：从2020年6月1日至2020年6月15日，对斋浦尔SMS医院的112名HCW进行了横断面研究。SQD被用来评估这些在某个时间点直接参与COVID-19患者护理且先前没有精神疾病史的医护人员的创伤后应激障碍和抑郁程度。结果：5.67%的HCW患有严重的创伤后应激障碍，5.67%的HCW因COVID-19而患有严重的抑郁症。通过t检验分析的结果发现，总体而言，根据SQD量表，HCW在创伤后应激障碍（平均值2.16; 95%置信区间[CI] = 1.80-2.53，P = 0.000）和抑郁症（平均值1.27; 95% CI = 0.97-1.57，P = 0.000）方面受到COVID-19的轻度影响。结论：该研究强调，大多数HCW在创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症方面受到电晕流行病的轻微影响，但由于电晕仍然持续存在，因此需要不断警惕其对他们的心理社会影响。以下核心竞争力在这篇文章中提出：医学知识，唯物主义，基于实践的学习和改进，基于系统的实践。
Introduction: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a notified disaster and public health emergency of international concern. Health-care workers (HCWs) who are involved in the care of these COVID patients are at additional risk of developing mental illness themselves due to direct exposure associated with the disease in them leading to this study. Aim: This study aims to assess the psychosocial impact of COVID-19 pandemic on HCW using Screening Questionnaire for Disaster Mental Health (SQD). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 112 HCW in SMS Hospital, Jaipur from June 1, 2020, to June 15, 2020. SQD was used to assess the magnitude of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression in these HCWs who were directly involved in care of COVID-19 patients at some point of time and had no previous history of mental illness. Results: 5.67% HCW were suffering from severe posttraumatic stress disorder and similar 5.67% had severe depression due to COVID-19. Results analyzed by t-test found that, overall, HCWs were mildly affected by COVID-19 in terms of posttraumatic stress disorder (mean value 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.80-2.53, P = 0.000) and depression (mean value 1.27; 95% CI = 0.97-1.57, P = 0.000) as per SQD scale. Conclusion: The study highlighted that the majority of the HCW were slightly affected by corona pandemic in terms of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression but as corona is still persisting, the need of constant vigilance for its psychosocial impact on them continues. The following core competencies are addressed in this article: Medical knowledge, Professionalism, Practice-based learning and improvement, Systems-based practice.
