“…As concluded by other authors [ 52 , 57 , 84 , 85 ], EMTs were the professional category most notably affected by the pandemic, regardless of whether or not they had previously used psychotropic drugs or psychotherapy. Possible reasons for this finding include their poorer working conditions and the higher risk of infection due to the inadequate use of personal protective equipment with patients who did not show respiratory symptoms [ 52 , 57 , 86 ]. In contrast, doctors and nurses tend to be more resistant to somatisation because of their achievements, previous work experience, or self-awareness.…”

“…HCWs with a history of psychotropic drug use or psychotherapy had a more intense negative emotional response and lower self-efficacy, regardless of their sex, professional category, whether they worked on the front line or not, or whether they had to change their working conditions or not. This result may be because HCWs with a previous mental disease are not in the best psycho-emotional state to face disruptive situations, such as that derived from the pandemic, which takes the person out of their comfort zone and requires a continuous ability to adapt [ 27 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Along the same lines, several authors have concluded that this association may be influenced by the high recurrence rate and chronic nature of most mental diseases [ 26 , 58 , 59 ].…”

This study aimed to describe factors relating to the psychological distress of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Spanish out-of-hospital emergency medical services (EMS), according to the previous or non-use of psychotropic drugs or psychotherapy. A multicentre, cross-sectional descriptive study was designed. The study population were all physicians, nurses, and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) working in any Spanish out-of-hospital EMS between February and April 2021. The main outcomes were the levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy, assessed by DASS-21 and G-SES. Differences in levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy, according to sex, age, previous use of psychotropic drug or psychotherapy, work experience, professional category, type of work, and modification of working conditions were measured using the Student’s t-test for independent samples, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, or 2-factor analysis of covariance. A total of 1636 HCWs were included, of whom one in three had severe mental disorders because of the pandemic. The interaction of the previous or non-use of psychotropic drugs or psychotherapy with the rest of the factors considered did not modify the levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy. However, HCWs with a history of psychotropic drug or psychotherapy use had a more intense negative emotional response and lower self-efficacy, regardless of their sex, professional category, type of work, or change in the working conditions. These HCWs are considered particularly vulnerable to the development or recurrence of new disorders or other comorbidities; therefore, the implementation of monitoring and follow-up strategies should be a priority.

“…Perceived organisational caring climate [19] refers to nursing students' perceptions of the support and care provided by nursing management staff (including head nurses and preceptors) during their clinical internships as well as the listening, concern, and understanding demonstrated by teachers and counsellors throughout their academic period, aiming to foster a sense of self-worth [20]. Studies have found that the lower the perceived stress level among nurses, the higher the degree of organisational support and care they receive [21]. A negative correlation exists between stress experienced by undergraduate nursing students and the degree of care provided by teachers during their academic period [22].…”

Background: The rapid development of digital technology has fuelled the widespread use of various electronic devices in daily life, particularly, mobile phones. However, the alarming rise in problematic mobile phone use poses a threat to healthcare professionals’ clinical practice, resulting in adverse physiological, psychological, and social effects. Methods: Between February and May 2023, 900 Chinese nursing graduate students from ten colleges completed questionnaires, resulting in a response rate of 98.47%. The questionnaires covered general demographics, perceived stress, organizational climate, self-control, and mobile phone addiction tendency. The data were analysed using SPSS23.0 and macro PROCESS. Results: (1) Perceived stress among undergraduate nursing students positively correlated with mobile addiction (r=0.362, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with organisational caring climate and self-control (r = -0.162, -0.515, P<0.01). Organisational caring climate positively correlated with self-control (r=0.152,P < 0.01) and negatively correlated with mobile phone addiction (r =-0.156, P < 0.01). Self-control negatively correlated with mobile phone addiction (r = -0.468, P < 0.01). (2) Perceived stress indirectly influenced mobile addiction through three paths: the independent mediating effect of organisational caring climate, the independent mediating effect of self-control, and the chain mediating effect of organizational caring climate and self-control. Conclusions: Greater perception of an organisational caring climate among graduate nursing students enhances their self-control abilities, facilitating effective stress management and mitigating the negative impact of mobile phone addiction on the clinical practice of healthcare professionals.
