“…These scores were lower than a Spanish pilot study involving the WRQoL scale, which reported scores of 78.13 (19.89) in nurses [ 43 ] while another study of healthcare professionals in Vietnam reported scores of 95.52 and 92.10 [ 44 ]. However, the scores of this current study for WRQoL were higher than studies in Iran which reported scores of 68.81 (19.12) for nurses caring for patients with Covid-19 in public hospitals’ wards [ 45 ] and 50.64 (11.55) in nurses working in Tehran University of Medical Sciences Hospitals [ 46 ].…”

Nurse, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs), along with other health and social care colleagues are the backbone of healthcare services. They have played a key role in responding to the increased demands on healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper compares cross-sectional data on quality of working life, wellbeing, coping and burnout of nurses, midwives and AHPs in the United Kingdom (UK) at two time points during the COVID-19 pandemic. An anonymous online repeated cross-sectional survey was conducted at two timepoints, Phase 1 (7th May 2020-3rd July 2020); Phase 2 (17th November 2020-1st February 2021). The survey consisted of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, the Work-Related Quality of Life Scale, and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Phase 2 only) to measure wellbeing, quality of working life and burnout. The Brief COPE scale and Strategies for Coping with Work and Family Stressors scale assessed coping strategies. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regressions examined the effects of coping strategies and demographic and work-related variables on wellbeing and quality of working life. A total of 1839 nurses, midwives and AHPs responded to the first or second survey, with a final sample of 1410 respondents -586 from Phase 1; 824 from Phase 2, (422 nurses, 192 midwives and 796 AHPs). Wellbeing and quality of working life scores were significantly lower in the Phase 2 sample compared to respondents in Phase 1 (p<0.001). The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on psychological wellbeing and quality of working life which decreased while the use of negative coping and burnout of these healthcare professionals increased. Health services are now trying to respond to the needs of patients with COVID-19 variants while rebuilding services and tackling the backlog of normal care provision. This workforce would benefit from additional support/services to prevent further deterioration in mental health and wellbeing and optimise workforce retention.

“…Pre-pandemic, within the AHPs, one study reported WRQoL scores of 82.92 (14.17) for occupational therapists in Iran [53] while another study of Vietnam's healthcare professionals reported higher scores of 95.52 and 92.10 during the pandemic [54], suggesting that these professionals had higher WRQoL than UK-based respondents. However, during the pandemic, lower scores have been reported amongst nurses in hospitals in Iran [55,56], suggesting that country of work and different working practices could influence total WRQoL. Burnout (measured in Phases 2 and 3 only) was found to significantly increase during the pandemic for the respondents surveyed.…”

Decreasing Wellbeing and Increasing Use of Negative Coping Strategies: The Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the UK Health and Social Care Workforce

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Many health and social care (HSC) professionals have faced overwhelming pressures throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As the current situation is constantly changing, and some restrictions across the UK countries such as social distancing and mask wearing in this period (May–July 2021) began to ease, it is important to examine how this workforce has been affected and how employers can help rebuild their services. The aim of this study was to compare cross-sectional data collected from the HSC workforce in the UK at three time points during the COVID-19 pandemic: Phase 1 (May–July 2020), Phase 2 (November 2020–January 2021) and Phase 3 (May–July 2021). Respondents surveyed across the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland) consisted of nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, social care workers and social workers. Wellbeing and work-related quality of life significantly declined from Phase 1 to 3 (p < 0.001); however, no significant difference occurred between Phases 2 and 3 (p > 0.05). Respondents increasingly used negative coping strategies between Phase 1 (May–July 2020) and Phase 3 (May–July 2021), suggesting that the HSC workforce has been negatively impacted by the pandemic. These results have the potential to inform HSC employers’ policies, practices, and interventions as the workforce continues to respond to the COVID-19 virus and its legacy.

“…Así mismo, dentro de los psicosociales resaltó, el apoyo de la sociedad hacia los enfermeros (Bahramnezhad & Asgari, 2020;Kalatehi et al, 2021), apoyo y solidaridad laboral (Fernández-Castillo et al, 2021;Kılınç & SisÇelik, 2020;Li et al, 2021;Nowicki et al, 2020), carga emocional (Khanal et al, 2020;Bellanti et al, 2021;Goh et al, 2021;Moradi et al, 2021;Zakeri et al, 2021), quiebre de las relaciones sociales entre enfermeros (Senek et al, 2020;Morawa et al, 2021;Pérez-Raya et al, 2021) y violencia hacia el enfermero (Zhan et al, 2020;ÖzkanŞat et al, 2021) (Tabla 3). Los efectos psicológicos del COVID-19 en personal de enfermería se pudieron evidenciar de dos maneras, los positivos a través de decisión (Chen et al, 2021;Fernández-Castillo et al, 2021;Moradi et al, 2021;ÖzkanŞat et al, 2021), motivación (Bellanti et al, 2021;Nia & Arslan, 2021;Shahbaz et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021) y orgullo (Bahramnezhad & Asgari, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Fontanini et al, 2021;Goh et al, 2021) y los negativos con ansiedad (Dal'Bosco et al, 2020;Góes et al, 2020;Khanal et al, 2020;Kılınç & SisÇelik, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Mo et al, 2020;Sagherian et al, 2020;Sarboozi et al, 2020;Farhadi et al, 2021;Halberg et al, 2021;…”

“…Fue necesario volver a capacitar y redistribuir parte del personal a áreas de necesidad, y para otros, trabajo remoto para minimizar la cantidad de personas presentes en el sitio. El personal de primera línea se enfrentó al racionamiento de equipos de protección personal y otros suministros médicos (Digby et al, 2021;Farhadi et al, 2021;Foye et al, 2021). El distanciamiento social, la interacción limitada con los colegas y la menor cantidad de oportunidades para actividades de ocio y ejercicio.…”

“…Diversos autores indicaron que la inseguridad y el miedo de contagiarse o contagiar a los familiares que mostró el personal de enfermería debido al acceso inadecuado de equipos de protección personal contribuyeron a altos niveles estrés y ansiedad (Dal'Bosco et al, 2020;Góes et al, 2020;Khanal et al, 2020;Kılınç & SisÇelik, 2020;Liu et al, 2020;Mo et al, 2020;Sagherian et al, 2020;Sarboozi et al, 2020;Farhadi et al, 2021;Halberg et al, 2021;Havaei et al, 2021;KalatehSadati et al, 2021;Moradi et al, 2021;Morawa et al, 2021;Rodrigues dos Santos et al, 2021;Shahbaz et al, 2021;Zakeri et al, 2021). Otros investigadores identificaron el miedo a la exposición al COVID-19, la exposición más frecuente al virus en el lugar de trabajo y las calificaciones negativas de la seguridad laboral mientras se atiende a pacientes con COVID-19 como factores predictivos de la ansiedad y la depresión de las enfermeras (Nia & Arslan, 2021;ÖzkanŞat et al, 2021;Pérez-Raya et al, 2021).…”

Como objetivo, se realizo una revisión bibliográfica para determinar las condiciones de trabajo y efectos psicológicos del COVID-19 en personal de enfermería durante el período 2020-2021. El estudio fue descriptivo, con una muestra de 39 articulos resultantes de la aplicación criterios de exclusión, las fuentes de datos utilizados fueron: EBSCO Host, Hinari, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Wiley Online, Library, Redalyc, SciELO; se incluyó la búsqueda de palabras clave mediante los tesauros en DeCS y MeSH, las cuales se formularon ecuaciones con los operadores boléanos AND y OR con descriptores de búsqueda como: WorkingCondition/Labor condition, Covid-19/ SARS-CoV-2/ Coronavirus Infections, Nurse emotions/emotion/emotions/emotional/Feelings/Regrets, Nurse/nurses/nursing, y Method/ Methodology/ Model. Como resultado, a nivel de riesgo biológico, las condiciones inseguras repercutían en deficiencia y escases de equipos de protección personal, infraestructura y equipamiento, así mismo, las condiciones laborales a nivel organizacionales aludían a ausencia de políticas y directrices, bajos salarios, carga e inestabilidad laboral, además de esto, los efectos psicológicos del COVID-19 en personal de enfermería se pudieron evidenciar de manera positiva a través de decisión, motivación y orgullo y, negativa con ansiedad, depresión, estrés, inseguridad, molestia y temor. Como conclusión, es indispensable ofrecer infraestructura, condiciones y equipamiento al personal de enfermería, además de actividades de descanso para disminuir el estrés y la presión que generan agotamiento y efectos psicosociales.
