Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed the capacity of the healthcare system, affecting the volume of demands and the care tasks of healthcare workers.

Aims: To examine the health indicators and exposure to psychosocial risks of Spanish healthcare workers 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic and compare them with the results of the first wave.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire (April-May 2020 and 2021). The data stem from the COTS 1 project database, corresponding to the first wave of COVID-19 (n = 1989) and COTS 2 (n = 1716) corresponding to 1 year later. The samples were independent. The prevalence of exposure to psychosocial risks and adverse health indicators was estimated for every occupational group, segregating the data by sex.

Results: Professionals of all types presented worse perception of health. In general, the results were worse for women, while geriatric assistants presented the greatest exposure to psychosocial risk in COTS 2 compared to COTS 1. Sleep problems, high quantitative demands and high concern about becoming infected and spreading COVID-19 were cross-disciplinary in COTS 1, while worse perception of health, high pace of work, high work-life conflict and low development opportunities stood out in COTS 2.

Conclusions: Exposure to psychosocial risks was already high during the first wave and a significant decline in working conditions was observed. The prolongation of the pandemic exacerbated these results and seems to have multiplied the pre-existing inequalities between the axes of segregation in the labour market.

使用 COVID-19 一年后医护人员的社会心理风险。

背景：目的：在COVID-19大流行1年后，研究西班牙医护人员的健康指标和面临的社会心理风险，并与第一波的结果进行比较：我们使用在线问卷进行了一项横断面研究（2020 年和 2021 年 4-5 月）。数据来源于 COTS 1 项目数据库，对应于 COVID-19 第一波（n = 1989）和 COTS 2（n = 1716），对应于一年后。样本是独立的。按性别分列数据后，估算了每个职业组的社会心理风险和不良健康指标的发生率：结果：各类专业人员的健康状况都较差。一般来说，女性的结果更差，而与职业分类 1 相比，职业分类 2 中的老年助理面临的社会心理风险最大。在 COTS 1 中，睡眠问题、高数量要求和对感染和传播 COVID-19 的高度担忧是跨学科问题，而在 COTS 2 中，健康感知较差、工作节奏快、工作与生活冲突大和发展机会少则是突出问题：结论：在第一波疫情中，心理社会风险已经很高，工作条件也明显下降。大流行病的长期存在加剧了这些结果，并似乎增加了劳动力市场中各隔离轴之间业已存在的不平等。
