Abstract
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pace of reproduction, fatality, and societal alarm associated with SARS-CoV-2 has posed a challenge to health systems worldwide. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating for infected and uninfected patients and society, as well as for health care workers who have been deemed second victims of SARS-CoV-2.
The frequent interaction of HCWs with COVID-19 patients, often without sufficient personal protective equipment, is a significant source of worry, stress, sleep disruption, and anxiety. Despite their perseverance, a significant proportion of HCWs have encountered, and will continue to face, physical and psychological issues that have outstripped their ability to handle them during the current outbreak. Although COVID-19 causes stress, worry, and anguish in everyone, it has a much greater impact on HCWs, particularly those that contact with COVID-19 patients.
Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluation of mental health status among HCWs who worked at Ain-Shams University hospitals and New Cairo hospital in quarantine. The study included 200 HCWs in quarantine hospitals, including Physicians and Nurses of both genders and between the age of 20-40. Each of the participants were assessed using Covid Stress Scale, Beck’s Depression Inventory Scale, Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, Eysenk Personality Questionnaire, Brief Coping Scale.
