- Abstract
Aim: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought many difficulties that could affect healthcare workers physically and mentally together. The aim of the present study is to determine the challenges, and conditions that lead to anxiety in residents who work during the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluate burnout syndrome along with the related factors to it, and frame the risk factors. Methods: Our study is a questionnaire study applied through the internet and conducted on residents on social platforms. A total of 155 participants (82 females and 73 males) completed the questionnaire. Socio-demographic data form, COVID-19 pandemic experiences form, Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and Maslach Burnout Scale were used in the study. Results: Of the participants, 61.3% (n=95) were detected to have anxiety and 58.1% (n=90) were detected to have depression. In burnout subscales, the mean score was found to be 21,4 (±8,4) for "emotional burnout", 8,65 (±5,10) for "desensitization" and 12,6 (±5,8) for "personal success". Increased frequency of contact with COVID-19 patients, perceived transmission risk, lack of support from the management, lack of social support, stigmatization, and excess social media use were detected to be related to increased depression, anxiety, and burnout levels. Conclusion: Maintenance of health services effectively and qualified during the pandemic is suggested to be related to both the physical and mental well-being of residents who play a key role during this process. Ensuring timely access to accurate information about the pandemic of the healthcare professionals involved in this process, adequate access to personal protective equipment, minimizing the experience of exclusion and stigmatization with the support of the family and social environment as well as preventing exposure to news and false information through ways such as social media and TV will be psychologically protective. Again, planning the working arrangements in a way to keep the frequency of contact with infected patients at the lowest level will be effective in reducing the perceived threat and related psychological effects.
