BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted GPs immensely. Work patterns have changed, risk stratification has been proposed, and the mental health of clinicians has been adversely affected. The COVID-19 prevalence among GPs is unknown. This study focuses on assessing the impact of COVID-19 on GPs in Leicestershire, the first UK city to lock down locally.AimThis survey assessed the prevalence of COVID-19 in GPs and explored GP work patterns in comparison with national guidance. It used a validated perceived stress tool to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on GP stress perception.Design & settingThe cross-sectional retrospective survey was sent to all the GPs in Leicestershire.MethodA total of 111 GPs in Leicestershire took part voluntarily in an anonymised questionnaire-based study. A 29-item survey using SmartSurvey software was designed with multiple choice and Likert response scale questions.ResultsCOVID-19 prevalence in GPs in Leicestershire was 8.1%; 70.3% of GPs were of Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) origin; 91.9% of GPs had undergone risk stratification; and 79.3% of GPs felt supported by their practice, but only 59.5% felt supported with mental health. GPs described feeling more stressed during the COVID-19 pandemic than they had been previously.ConclusionThis is the first study evaluating COVID-19 prevalence among GPs in Leicestershire. Despite government interventions, GPs felt less supported with their mental health compared with pre-COVID-19 times. Thus, the NHS in England should focus on GP stress and wellbeing as they work towards the restoration and recovery of primary care while battling the second wave.

“…These findings imply that GPs are more often exhibiting an external locus of control with the continually changing landscape of COVID-19. Evidence suggests this could lead to anger-eliciting situations and depression(30). Although there have been helplines for GPs to access, many will not.…”

“…Ello está en concordancia con los estudios previos que muestran la influencia del locus de control en la ira (Abdolmanafi et al, 2011; Deming & Lochman, 2008;Smith & Thomas, 1996;Wallace et al, 2012;Young, 1992). A su vez, los jugadores con un alto locus de control externo presentan peores estrategias de afrontamiento durante la competición y en las situaciones adversas, influyendo esto notablemente en su rendimiento deportivo (Arnaud et al, 2012;Weiner, 2012).…”

“…As individuals with a more external LOC experience lower control over their fate they typically experience more stress. An external LOC is a risk factor for the onset of anxiety and depressive disorders (Barlow, 2000;Beekman et al, 1998; Chorpita and Barlow, 1998;Wiersma et al, 2011), their unfavorable course (Hovens et al, 2016), and a higher severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms (Abdolmanafi et al, 2011;Archer, 1979;Benassi et al, 1988; Chorpita and Barlow, 1998;Hoehn-Saric and McLeod, 1985). This relationship between LOC and anxiety and depression was also found in longitudinal studies although follow-up times up till 12 months can be considered as limited (Hooke and Page, 2002;Struijs et al, 2013).…”

Background: The locus of control (LOC) construct has been associated with onset, course, and severity of anxiety and depression. We investigated the stability of LOC, the bidirectional relationships between LOC and symptom severity of anxiety and depression over nine years, and the influence of intermediate positive and negative life-events on these associations. Methods: Data came from five assessment waves over nine years of 2052 subjects with an anxiety or depressive disorder or healthy controls. First, the stability of LOC (assessed with 5-item Mastery Scale) was tested. Next, associations between LOC, anxiety severity (Beck Anxiety Inventory), depression severity (Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology), and intermediate positive and negative life-events (20-item List of Threatening Experience Questionnaire) were determined with structural equation modeling. Results: LOC was rather stable over nine years (r = .62), and scores increased slightly with age (i.e. became more internal). LOC yielded equal stability estimates as symptom levels of anxiety and depression did over nine years. A more external LOC predicted higher anxiety and depression severity, but did not influence the incidence of positive and negative life-events. Higher depression severity and more negative life-events predicted the development of a more external LOC, whereas more positive life-events predicted a more internal LOC. Anxiety severity had no effect on LOC. Limitations: Life-events were assessed with self-report measures. Conclusions: The prospective associations between LOC and meaningful changes in anxiety and depressive symptom severity and experienced life-events may yield important new insights for clinical interventions.
