冠状病毒病 19 (COVID-19) 大流行影响了所有类别的个人，无论其地理位置、职业、性别或种族如何。由于全面或部分封锁和居家令，个人的福祉和生产力受到严重影响。由于基础科学研究需要实验室实验，在家工作策略损害了他们的生产力。此外，生产力下降和呆在家里可能会造成压力和焦虑，从而损害他们的健康。在本案例研究中，制定了一项策略，通过定期的虚拟会议，通过倾听和学习、激励和授权来吸引研究人员。通过这些虚拟会议，从构思到撰写研究论文和资助提案，研究工作得到了优先排序和协调。在 COVID-19 时代，从 2020 年 3 月到 2020 年 7 月，每个月都会测量感知压力评分 (PSS) 和 COVID-19 相关压力 (COVID-SS) 评分，以分别评估一般压力和 COVID-19 引起的压力。结果显示，与对照组相比，干预组的 PSS 和 COVID-SS 评分均显着改善。此外，虽然从 3 月到随后的几个月直至 7 月，对照组的 PSS 和 COVID-SS 评分没有/略有变化，但干预组的两项评分均显示出显着且一致的改善。总体而言，干预策略显示基础科学研究人员的福祉有所改善，这也与他们在 COVID-19 时代生产力的提高相一致。
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected individuals of all categories, irrespective of their geographical locations, professions, gender, or race. As a result of full or partial lock-down and stay-at-home orders, the well-being and productivity of individuals were severely affected. Since basic science research requires laboratory experiments, the work-from-home strategy hurt their productivity. In addition, the combination of decreased productivity and staying at home is likely to compromise their well-being by causing stress and anxiety. In this case study, a strategy was developed to engage researchers through listening and learning, motivation, and empowerment, using regular virtual sessions. Through these virtual sessions, research work was prioritized and coordinated, from idea conception to writing research papers and grant proposals. Perceived stress scores (PSS) and COVID-19-related stress (COVID-SS) scores were measured to evaluate general and COVID-19-induced stress, respectively, every month from March to July 2020 during the COVID-19 era. The result showed a significant improvement in both the PSS and the COVID-SS scores of the intervention group compared to the control group. In addition, while there was no/minimal change in PSS and COVID-SS scores from March to subsequent months until July for the control group, the intervention groups showed significant and consistent improvement in both scores in the intervention group. Overall, the intervention strategy showed improved well-being for basic science researchers, which was also consistent with their improved productivity during the COVID-19 era.
