ObjectiveThis study aims to assess anxiety and suffering symptoms amid the pandemic, determine factors linked to physicians’ anxiety with COVID-19 patients and describe symptom progression in the initial year of follow-up.MethodsDescriptive cohort study involving general practitioners, specialists and interns in the city of Bogotá. The Zung Anxiety Scale and the Traumatic Event Scale (TES) were employed and completed four times during the pandemic. A sample of 558 participants was taken. Physicians with prior diagnoses of psychiatric disorders were excluded. Bivariate tests and a logistic regression model were used.ResultsSome 7.3% of respondents had anxiety symptoms during the first survey (29/397 physicians) with a clinically significant impact of the traumatic event on 279 of the 397 (70%). Female gender (p=0.04), comorbidities (p=0.01), use of surgical gown (protective, p=0.01), perception of negative thoughts on the part of society (p=0.05), thoughts of wanting to give up or death (p<0.001) and presenting some clinical level of traumatic event impact (p<0.001) were associated with these anxiety symptoms. The multivariate model associated thoughts of quitting (OR 4.55; 95% CI 1.8 to 11.6) and the clinically significant level of TES (OR 7.8; 95% CI 1.0 to 62.5) with anxiety symptoms and the use of a surgical gown as a personal protection element (OR 0.222; 95% CI 0.12 to 0.73; p=0.009) with the protective factor.ConclusionsThe pandemic significantly impacted Bogota physicians, with around 7.3% of exhibiting anxiety symptoms during the initial assessment. This traumatic experience had a clinically significant effect on 70% of respondents. Over time, anxiety symptoms diminished. Addressing post-traumatic stress phenomena is crucial in similar scenarios to alleviate the impact on healthcare personnel’s anxiety.

Background: Self-medication is a non-responsible act and leads to the inappropriate use of medications, causing low effectiveness and insecurity in treatments. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between self-medication and anxiety symptoms in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in users attending a pharmacy in Los Olivos, Lima in 2021. Methods: The research method was deductive, basic and with a quantitative approach; the design used was non-experimental, descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional, and prospective. Spearman's Rho analysis was performed to validate the hypothesis. Results: 384 users were evaluated, finding 93.5% aged 18-59 years, of whom 53.4% were female, 42.7% had completed high school, 57.8% were single and 51.6% presented physical symptoms, predominantly muscular tension accompanied by pain, 60.7% presented behavioral symptoms, highlighting unusual sadness in the face of COVID-19 and 70.1% presented cognitive symptoms with greater frequency of concern about contracting COVID-19. In addition, the greater the symptoms of anxiety, the higher the self-medication increased from 9.0% to 21.1%. A similar case was evidenced in self-medication on their own initiative where the increase was from 7.5% to 33.3%; likewise, self-medication without medical prescription increased from 15.8% to 47.7%, and the consumption of anxiolytics or antidepressants increased from 0.8% to 26.3% caused by the symptoms of anxiety. Conclusion: It was determined that there is a moderate relationship between self-medication and anxiety symptoms in the context of COVID-19, in users who go to a drugstore in Los Olivos, Lima in 2021.

“…En general, podemos mencionar que las profesionales, las enfermeras y quienes trabajan directamente con casos sospechosos o confirmados de COVID-19 tienen mayor riesgo de padecer problemas de salud mental. Si se desea contener adecuadamente la pandemia, se debe propiciar el cuidado de la salud mental del personal sanitario (Miranda y Murguía, 2021).…”

Background: Burnout syndrome and depression constitute a concern to healthcare workers, particularly for those who care for patients in the emergency room and intensive care units, due to the physical and mental health wear. Emotional intelligence provides skills to help health professionals adapt to new situations in positive ways. This investigation will evaluate the association between burnout syndrome, depression, emotional intelligence and health behaviors in healthcare workers. Methodology: This is a correlational crosssectional cohort study with a population made up of healthcare workers from IESS Duran hospital, Ecuador, with a sample of 202 employees. Several surveys are used to determine demographic data, as well as clinical data such as anthropometric measurements and vital signs. Other surveys are also used: The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) and the PHQ-9 depression screening questionnaire.Results: 71.2% of the participants had significant scores in at least one MBI subscale. 10.6% show high emotional exhaustion, 23.7% have high depersonalization and 50.5% have low personal fulfillment. 12.4% demonstrated burnout traits and 11.4% had moderate to severe levels of depression, indicating that there is positive associat ion between burnout and depression. On the other hand, emotional intelligence appears negatively associated with burnout and depression. The regression analysis indicates that high depression scores are explained by the combined effect of excessive emotional fatigue, high burnout, and low emotional repair. Conclusion: Healthcare workers are exposed to high levels of responsibility, suffering in patients and death, which happens more particularly when a health crisis occurs. This leads to a higher risk of burnout and depression. It is necessary to implement individual and organizational protection strategies that enhance emotional intelligence, as a way to avoid these psychosocial risks.
