Abstract The severe 2019 outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was first reported in Wuhan, would be expected to impact the mental health of local medical and nursing staff and thus lead them to seek help. However, those outcomes have yet to be established using epidemiological data. To explore the mental health status of medical and nursing staff and the efficacy, or lack thereof, of critically connecting psychological needs to receiving psychological care, we conducted a quantitative study. This is the first paper on the mental health of medical and nursing staff in Wuhan. Notably, among 994 medical and nursing staff working in Wuhan, 36.9% had subthreshold mental health disturbances (mean PHQ-9: 2.4), 34.4% had mild disturbances (mean PHQ-9: 5.4), 22.4% had moderate disturbances (mean PHQ-9: 9.0), and 6.2% had severe disturbance (mean PHQ-9: 15.1) in the immediate wake of the viral epidemic. The noted burden fell particularly heavily on young women. Of all participants, 36.3% had accessed psychological materials (such as books on mental health), 50.4% had accessed psychological resources available through media (such as online push messages on mental health self-help coping methods), and 17.5% had participated in counseling or psychotherapy. Trends in levels of psychological distress and factors such as exposure to infected people and psychological assistance were identified. Although staff accessed limited mental healthcare services, distressed staff nonetheless saw these services as important resources to alleviate acute mental health disturbances and improve their physical health perceptions. These findings emphasize the importance of being prepared to support frontline workers through mental health interventions at times of widespread crisis.

2019年新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对武汉市医护人员心理健康及心理护理认知的影响：横断面研究

摘要 2019 年在武汉首次报道的新型冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫情严重，预计将影响当地医务人员和护理人员的心理健康，从而导致他们寻求帮助。然而，尚未使用流行病学数据确定这些结果。为探讨医务人员和护理人员的心理健康状况以及将心理需求与接受心理护理批判性联系起来的有效性与否，我们进行了定量研究。这是第一篇关于武汉市医护人员心理健康的论文。值得注意的是，在武汉工作的994名医护人员中，36.9%有亚阈值心理健康障碍（平均PHQ-9：2.4），34.4%有轻度障碍（平均PHQ-9：5.4），22.4%有中度障碍（平均PHQ-9：5.4） -9: 9.0) 和 6。2% 在病毒流行后立即出现严重紊乱（平均 PHQ-9：15.1）。所提到的负担特别沉重地落在了年轻女性身上。在所有参与者中，36.3% 的人访问过心理资料（如心理健康书籍），50.4% 的人访问过通过媒体提供的心理资源（如心理健康自助应对方法的在线推送信息），17.5% 的人参与过咨询或心理治疗。确定了心理困扰程度的趋势以及接触感染者和心理援助等因素。尽管员工获得的精神保健服务有限，但受困员工仍将这些服务视为缓解急性精神健康障碍和改善身体健康观念的重要资源。
