Abstract

Background

COVID-19 is an infectious disease with a wide range of physical and psychological health threats among health care workers, in particular, nurses because they spend a long time caring for their patients.

Aims

To investigate the prevalence and predictors of depression, anxiety, and stress among Jordanian nurses.

Methods

This study was conducted among 405 nurses using an online survey from March 3, 2020 to March 24, 2020. The Arabic version of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS) was used.

Results

the findings of this study showed that depression, anxiety, and stress were highly prevalent among nurses (57.8, 42.4, and 50.1%, respectively). Those who had close contact with a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient showed stronger psychological reactions than their counterparts. The full regression models in terms of depression, anxiety, and stress which contained gender, number of children, and dealing with a person with COVID-19 were statistically significant (F_{(3, 216)} = 11.801; p < 0.001), (F_{(3, 216)} = 10.501; p < 0.001), and (F_{(3, 216)} = 11.659; p < 0.001), respectively.

Conclusion

In the COVID-19 pandemic, the levels of depression, anxiety, and stress are high among Jordanian nursing working in clinical settings. Hence, the mental health status of nurses should be given a priority, with a specific emphasis on those who are in contact with infected patients with COVID-19, female nurses, and those who have children.

2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间约旦护士抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率和预测因素

摘要

背景

COVID-19 是一种传染病，对医护人员（尤其是护士）造成广泛的身心健康威胁，因为他们要花很长时间照顾病人。

目标

调查约旦护士抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率和预测因素。

方法

这项研究是在 2020 年 3 月 3 日至 2020 年 3 月 24 日期间使用在线调查在 405 名护士中进行的。使用了阿拉伯文版的抑郁、焦虑和压力量表 (DASS)。

结果

这项研究的结果表明，抑郁、焦虑和压力在护士中非常普遍（分别为 57.8%、42.4% 和 50.1%）。与 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 患者有过密切接触的人表现出比同行更强烈的心理反应。包含性别、儿童数量和与 COVID-19 患者打交道的抑郁、焦虑和压力方面的完整回归模型具有统计学意义 ( F _{(3, 216)} = 11.801; p  < 0.001), ( F _{(3, 216)} = 10.501; p  < 0.001) 和 ( F _{(3, 216)} = 11.659; p  < 0.001)。

结论

在 COVID-19 大流行中，在临床环境中工作的约旦护士的抑郁、焦虑和压力水平很高。因此，应优先考虑护士的心理健康状况，特别强调与 COVID-19 感染患者接触的人员、女护士和有孩子的人员。
