The impact of infectious disease outbreaks on mental health among health care workers is wellestablished Minimal research has focused on health care trainees' well-being, especially during unprecedented events such as the 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) Trainees are vulnerable to inherent power and resource differentials, which may exacerbate stress The present study used a mixed methods approach to examine mental health symptoms, perceived safety, and ongoing and desired support among a national sample of psychology interns, psychology intern and postdoctoral trainees during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 400) Participants reported clinically elevated anxiety and depressive symptoms Participants working on-site who felt that their health or safety was at risk reported more anxiety symptoms Most common workplace safety concerns included inadequate protection against risk and face-to-face patient care requirements Trainees desired more support, better communication, more remote work and telehealth options, and flexibility in training requirements Themes also emerged related to supervisor pressure and disregard of trainees' concerns Results have significant implications for the training environment and quality of patient care Increased support of psychology trainees is vital during the current and potential future public health crises © 2020 American Psychological Association

在 COVID-19 大流行期间为心理学学员提供发言权:学员心理健康、感知安全和支持。

传染病爆发对卫生保健工作者心理健康的影响是公认的 很少有研究关注卫生保健受训人员的福祉,尤其是在 2019 年冠状病毒大流行 (COVID-19) 等前所未有的事件中,受训人员很容易受到内在力量和资源差异,这可能会加剧压力 本研究使用混合方法来检查全国心理学实习生样本中的心理健康症状、安全感以及持续和期望的支持,COVID-19 大流行期间的心理学实习生和博士后实习生 (N = 400) 参与者报告了临床焦虑和抑郁症状升高 在现场工作的参与者认为自己的健康或安全处于危险之中 报告了更多的焦虑症状 最常见的工作场所安全问题包括不充分防范风险和面对面的患者护理要求 受训者希望获得更多支持、更好的沟通、更多远程工作和远程医疗选项,以及培训要求的灵活性 与主管压力和忽视受训者有关的主题也出现了关注结果对培训环境和患者护理质量具有重大影响 在当前和未来潜在的公共卫生危机期间,增加对心理学学员的支持至关重要 © 2020 美国心理学会
