Abstract Objective We discuss the psychosocial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic as self-reported by housestaff and faculty in the NYU Langone Health Department of Neurology, and summarize how our program is responding to these ongoing challenges. Methods During the period of May 1–4, 2020, we administered an anonymous electronic survey to all neurology faculty and housestaff to assess the potential psychosocial impacts of COVID-19. The survey also addressed how our institution and department are responding to these challenges. This report outlines the psychosocial concerns of neurology faculty and housestaff and the multifaceted support services that our department and institution are offering in response. Faculty and housestaff cohorts were compared with regard to frequencies of binary responses (yes/ no) using the Fisher's exact test. Results Among 130 total survey respondents (91/191 faculty [48%] and 37/62 housestaff [60%]), substantial proportions of both groups self-reported having increased fear (79%), anxiety (83%) and depression (38%) during the COVID-19 pandemic. These proportions were not significantly different between the faculty and housestaff groups. Most respondents reported that the institution had provided adequate counseling and support services (91%) and that the department had rendered adequate emotional support (92%). Participants offered helpful suggestions regarding additional resources that would be helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion COVID-19 has affected the lives and minds of faculty and housestaff in our neurology department at the epicenter of the pandemic. Efforts to support these providers during this evolving crisis are imperative for promoting the resilience necessary to care for our patients and colleagues.

COVID-19 对大流行震中神经病学项目的社会心理影响

摘要 目标我们讨论了纽约大学朗格尼神经病学系的工作人员和教职员工自我报告的 COVID-19 大流行的心理社会影响,并总结了我们的计划如何应对这些持续的挑战。方法 在 2020 年 5 月 1 日至 4 日期间,我们对所有神经病学教职员工和家庭工作人员进行了匿名电子调查,以评估 COVID-19 的潜在社会心理影响。该调查还讨论了我们的机构和部门如何应对这些挑战。本报告概述了神经病学教职员工的社会心理问题,以及我们部门和机构为此提供的多方面支持服务。使用 Fisher 精确检验比较教职员工和家庭员工的二元反应频率(是/否)。结果 在 130 名受访者(91/191 教职员工 [48%] 和 37/62 家庭员工 [60%])中,很大一部分受访者自称恐惧(79%)、焦虑(83%)和抑郁( 38%) 在 COVID-19 大流行期间。这些比例在教职员工和家庭员工群体之间没有显着差异。大多数受访者表示,该机构提供了足够的咨询和支持服务 (91%),部门提供了足够的情感支持 (92%)。参与者就在 COVID-19 大流行期间有用的其他资源提出了有用的建议。结论 COVID-19 已经影响了我们处于大流行中心的神经科的教职员工的生活和思想。
