“…Systemic support, adequate knowledge and resilience were factors protecting against adverse mental health outcomes imposed by the impact of COVID-19 among the healthcare workers [11]. One of our previous survey among 3,048 eligible HCWs in Hong Kong, Nepal, Vietnam, and Taiwan from May 2021 to July 2022 also supported that besides older age, part-time work type, higher education level, participants with better organizational supports and fewer COVID-specific worries were associated with higher resilience [31]. Resilient nurses and those who perceived higher organizational and social support were more likely to report lower anxiety related to COVID-19 [18].…”

ObjectivesTo compare the prevalence of anxiety/depression, resilience, and social support among nurses, foreign domestic helpers (FDHs), and residents living in subdivided units (SDUs), and to examine their associations in these high-risk groups in Hong Kong during Omicron waves.MethodsWe recruited 1,014 nurses, 621 FDHs, and 651 SDU residents from December 2021 to May 2022 in this cross-sectional survey. The depression, anxiety, social support, and resilience levels were measured by the validated scales. The multivariate binary logistic regression and causal mediation analysis were applied to examine the associations.ResultsWe observed a prevalence of 17.7% in anxiety and 21.6% in depression which were the highest in SDU residents, followed by FDHs, and lowest in nurses. Social support was associated with increased resilience levels and decreased risks of anxiety/depression. The association of social support with mental disorders was partly mediated by resilience, accounting for 30.9% and 20.9% of the total effect of social support on anxiety and depression, respectively.ConclusionPublic health strategies should target improving social support and providing resilience-promoting interventions to help reduce mental disorders in vulnerable groups.

Background From November 2022 to February 2023, the Chinese mainland experienced a surge in COVID-19 infection and hospitalization, and the hospital-based healthcare workers (HCWs) might suffer serious psychological crisis during this period. This study aims to assess the depressive and anxiety symptoms among HCWs during the surge of COVID-19 pandemic, to provide possible reference on protecting mental health of HCWs in future infectious disease outbreaks. Methods A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out among hospital-based HCWs in the Chinese mainland from January 5 to February 9, 2023. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were used to measure depressive and anxiety symptoms. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to identify influencing factors. Results A total of 6522 hospital-based HCWs in the Chinse mainland were included in this survey. The prevalence of depressive symptoms among the HCWs was 70.75%, and anxiety symptoms was 47.87%. The HCWs who perceived higher risk of COVID-19 infection, and those who had higher work intensity were more likely to experience depressive and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, higher levels of mindfulness, resilience, and perceived social support were negatively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Conclusion This study revealed that a high proportion of HCWs in the Chinese mainland suffered from mental health disturbances during the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience, mindfulness, and perceived social support are important protective factors of HCWs’ mental health. Tailored interventions, such as mindfulness practice, should be implemented to alleviate psychological symptoms of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar events in the future.
