On the frontlines in Shanghai: Stress, burnout and perceived benefit among COVID-19 testers and other personnel during the Omicron wave lockdown.
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine 2023 March 15
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 control measure stringency, including testing, has been among the highest globally in China. Psychosocial impact on pandemic workers in Shanghai, and their pandemic-related attitudes were investigated.
METHODS: Participants in this cross-sectional study were healthcare providers (HCP) and other pandemic workers. A Mandarin online survey was administered between April-June/2022 during the omicron-wave lockdown. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory were administered.
RESULTS: 887 workers participated, of which 691 (77.9%) were HCPs. They were working 6.25 ± 1.24 days/week for 9.77 ± 4.28 hours/day. Most participants were burnt-out, with 143 (16.1%) moderately and 98 (11.0%) seriously. PSS was 26.85 ± 9.92/56, with 353 (39.8%) participants having elevated stress. Many workers perceived benefits: cohesive relationships (n = 581,65.5%), resilience (n = 693,78.1%), and honor (n = 747,84.2%). In adjusted analyses, those perceiving benefits showed significantly less burnout (OR = 0.573, 95% CI = 0.4110.799), among other correlates.
CONCLUSIONS: Pandemic work, including among non-HCP, is highly stressful, but some can derive benefits.
