The survey included general demographic information, working hours, degree of fatigue, sleep quality and psychological needs, moreover, the mental health status of the medical staff was assessed by Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6).Results The K6 results showed that 108 (75.00%) cases developed intensive status, 66 (45.83%) felt agitation, and 85 (59.03%) had sleep problems. 6 participants (4.17%) scored above 13 in K6 scale, but none of them required psychological help. The first two demands of the medical staff were protective equipments and work break, accounting for 76.39% (110) and 72.91% (105), respectively. 72 cases (50.00%) adopted self-regulation to respond to psychological crisis.Conclusion During the early phase of COVID-19 outbreak, the majority of participants report to have psychological stress and poor sleep quality, and nearly half of the participants are more inclined to self-regulate when coping with psychological problems than seeking professional help. |
