The COVID-19 has been spreading across the world since December 2019. The pandemic has created tremendous fear of death from infection and awful psychological pressure on healthcare professionals (HCPs). The measures of psychological effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Bangladeshi HCPs are unknown. The present study aimed to assess the mental health outcomes of Bangladeshi HCPs and associated risk factors. We conducted this cross-sectional study from July 15 to September 20, 2020. A total of 355 HCPs aged between 20 and 60 years residing in Bangladesh participated in this study. All the participants completed a self-administered questionnaire through Google Forms consisting of socio-demographic characteristics and mental health outcomes. We measure loneliness, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance using the UCLA loneliness scale-8, patient health questionnaire-9, 7-item generalized anxiety disorder scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index. The present study observed the prevalence of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance among HCPs were 89%, 44%, 78%, and 87%, respectively. The factors significantly associated with the development of mental health problems among HCPs were working environment, economic condition, education level, area of residence, marital status, gender differences, professional category, body mass index, and smoking habit. Moreover, we have seen significant correlations among the different mental health outcomes. In Bangladesh, a large portion of HCPs reported mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 pandemic incredibly impacted the psychological health of Bangladeshi healthcare professionals. Appropriate supportive programs and interventional initiatives might help the HCPs with mental health problems during and after this pandemic.

COVID-19 大流行对孟加拉国医疗保健专业人员心理健康的影响:一项横断面研究

自 2019 年 12 月以来,新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 在世界各地蔓延。这场大流行给医护人员 (HCP) 带来了对感染死亡的巨大恐惧和可怕的心理压力。COVID-19 疫情对孟加拉国 HCP 的心理影响的衡量标准尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估孟加拉国 HCP 的心理健康结果和相关风险因素。我们于 2020 年 7 月 15 日至 9 月 20 日进行了这项横断面研究。共有 355 名居住在孟加拉国、年龄在 20 岁至 60 岁之间的 HCP 参与了这项研究。所有参与者都通过谷歌表单完成了一份自填问卷,其中包括社会人口特征和心理健康结果。我们使用加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表 8、患者健康问卷 9、7 项广泛性焦虑症量表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数来测量孤独、抑郁、焦虑和睡眠障碍。本研究观察到,HCP 中孤独、抑郁、焦虑和睡眠障碍的患病率分别为 89%、44%、78% 和 87%。与医护人员心理健康问题发生显着相关的因素有工作环境、经济条件、文化程度、居住地区、婚姻状况、性别差异、职业类别、体重指数、吸烟习惯等。此外,我们发现不同心理健康结果之间存在显着相关性。在孟加拉国,很大一部分 HCP 报告了 COVID-19 大流行期间的心理健康问题。COVID-19 大流行极大地影响了孟加拉国医疗保健专业人员的心理健康。适当的支持计划和干预措施可能会帮助 HCP 在这次大流行期间和之后解决心理健康问题。
