“…8 We also found low rates of fulfillment and higher rates of anxiety and burnout amongst younger providers (<45) and those in practice for <10 years. Literature prior to COVID-19 cites rates of burnout in OB/GYN residents as high as 87.5%, 22 which may be further compounded by the pandemic, particularly in our survey where nearly all trainees reported feeling a loss of control and over 75% reported that their training was being negatively impacted.…”

Objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic rapidly overwhelmed global health care systems in 2020, with New York City (NYC) marking the first epicenter in the United States. High levels of stress amongst health care workers have been reported in pandemics, but less is known about stress amongst Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) providers. We sought to describe levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and other aspects of mental health among OB/GYN health care workers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional electronic survey of a wide range of OB/GYN clinicians in a large NYC hospital system in the spring of 2020. We used both original survey questions and validated screening tools to assess stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. We calculated median scores for these tools and compared median score between provider types. We also adapted questions on pandemic-related stressors from the MERS and SARS pandemics to fit the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and OB/GYN providers. Results A total of 464 providers met study inclusion criteria, and 163 providers completed the survey (response rate = 35.1%). Approximately 35% of providers screened positive for anxiety and 21% for depression. Scores for depression, burnout, and fulfillment varied by provider type, with nurses scoring higher than physicians (p <0.05). The majority of respondents reported stress from pandemic and OB-specific stressors, including the possibility of transmitting COVID-19 to friends and family (83.9%, [95% confidence interval or CI 78.0–89.8%]), uncertainty regarding the pandemic's trajectory (91.3% [86.7–95.8%]), and frequent policy changes on labor and delivery (72.7% [65.1–80.3%]). Conclusion OB/GYN providers reported high levels of stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. The stress of caring for laboring patients during a pandemic may disproportionately affect nurses and trainees and highlights the need to provide interventions to ameliorate the negative impact of a pandemic on the mental health of our OB/GYN health care workers.

“…This topic is garnering increasing attention and is needed to help limit its occurrence and consequences. To our knowledge, this is the first study to look at metrics of and potential contributors to burnout across three different levels of training in orthopaedics using the validated aMBI [ 2 , 5 , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] ].…”

“…The relationship between work hours and burnout has been observed in every surgical field [ 11 , 13 , 14 , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] ]. With our finding of increased depersonalization and longer work hours in residents, one might suggest duty hours should be further restricted.…”
