Abstract

BACKGROUND. The COVID-19 pandemic in Italy had a major impact on the mental health of healthcare personnel. This study wanted to investigate, through the administration of the same questionnaire in both waves (April-May and November-December 2020), different aspects regarding the association between psychological well-being and working conditions of the healthcare personnel directly involved. 


METHODS. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed online to healthcare professionals directly involved in COVID-19 services (N = 398) on the entire national territory from April 29th to December 17th, 2020. The questionnaire measured psychological distress, working conditions, demographic variables, use of PPE, working hours, lifestyle and infection risk perception among Italian healthcare workers. 


RESULTS. Nurses were the most vulnerable during the first and second waves of COVID-19. Stress and fear of being infected and infectiousness were the main problems that emerged from the analysis, associated with increased inadequacy and insufficient staff to manage the workload (β = 0.28; p = 0.000), as well as increased fear of putting their health at risk (β = 0.24; p = 0.023) and negative influence on one's lifestyle (β = 0.31; p = 0.001). 


CONCLUSION. Monitoring and preserving the mental and psychological health of healthcare workers is necessary for optimal care and personal well-being. The development of support services from the organizations can help the staff involved in facing and coping with their difficulties.
