| Objective To understand the emotional characteristics of the frontline medical staff during the outbreak of COVID-19， and provide a basis for formulating psychological intervention programs.Methods Using the method of cross-sectional study， the general status questionnaire， State-Trait Anxiety Inventory（STAI） and Self-rating Depression Scale（SDS） were distributed to the frontline medical staff in the Fifth affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 17 to February 3， 2020， and their characteristics were analyzed by one-sample t-test， independent-sample t-test， one-way analysis of variance and covariance analysis.Results A total of 248 valid questionnaires were collected. 156 medical staff were assessed as non-contact group before contacting patients or blood， urine and stool samples， and 92 medical staff were assessed as contact group within two weeks after contacting patients or samples. The results showed that the positive detection rates of SDS， S-AI， and T-AI in the non-contact group were 28.85%， 17.95%， and 5.77% respectively， while those in the contact group were 18.48%， 20.65%， 6.52%， there was no statistically significant difference in the positive detection rates of SDS， S-AI， and T-AI （P>0.05）. The T-AI and SDS scores of the original infection department medical staff in the contact group were lower than those in the non-contact group， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. The S-AI score of female medical staff in the non-contact group was （44.85±11.58）， and in the contact group was （45.28±10.97）， which were compared with domestic adult female norms （38.97±8.45）， the differences were statistically significant （P<0.01）.Conclusion In terms of major new infectious diseases， there is little psychological impact on the full-time frontline medical staff in the infection department who originally engaged in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. More attention should be paid to the emotional changes of female and frontline medical staff from non-infectious departments. |
