  Abstract 


Aim: This study aimed to verify the general health status and its related factors of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic in Daran Shahid Rajaee Hospital. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed by census method on 168 medical staff in Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Daran city during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were gathered by applying a questionnaire, containing demographic information and a 28-item standard General Health Questionnaire. Eventually, data analysis was performed by Spearman correlation tests and the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis H tests, using the SPSS software V.26. Results: The results of the study revealed that the general health score, among the individuals, was at a healthy level with a mean of 20.77 ± 11.8. Spearman correlation test represented a significant interdependency between age and general health and its connected factors, Somatic Symptoms Scale, and depression symptoms scale (P < 0.05) (R = −0.226, R = −0.174, R = −0.168). In addition, a significant correlation was found between the depression symptoms scale and work experience (P = 0.005) (R = −0.214). Based on the results of the Kruskal–Wallis H tests, a statistically significant difference was found between the employment status and the general health (P = 0.04) as well as the depression symptoms scale (P = 0.019). Conclusion: In this study, the most vital factors affecting both job efficiency and general health were the variables of age, work experience, and type of employment. Furthermore, the subscales of somatic symptoms and depression symptoms were identified as the most effective subscales on general health.

  Introduction Top


An unknown disease arose in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) called it coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).[1] It is the third most dangerous virus in the 21st century and poses a serious threat to general health.[2] COVID-19 has been responsible for the deaths of more than two and a half million people worldwide.[3] The initial COVID-19 contagion is through aerosol and close contact with people, for this reason, it endangers people, especially the medical staff.[4]

The COVID-19 epidemic could significantly affect the mental health of health-care workers (HCWs) at the forefront of the crisis.[5] The prevalence of mental disorders in them leads to dysfunction, sleep problems, decreased motivation, fear, worry, and anxiety؛ as a result, they are not interested enough to perform their tasks satisfactorily.[6],[7] According to the International Council of Nurses, about 6% of COVID-19-approved cases were HCWs worldwide.[8] According to the WHO, one in four medical staff is depressed and anxious, and one in three suffers from insomnia during COVID-19.[9] In addition, according to the WHO report, as of March 10, 2020, 113,702 people worldwide have been confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 and 4012 people have died, of which 7161 cases have been confirmed in Iran and 237 people have died.[10]

Studies during the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of medical staff show different results. The results of a study conducted in Chinese hospitals on HCWs reported 50.4% of depression symptoms, 44.60% of stress symptoms, 34% of insomnia signs, and also 71.5% of anxiety indications.[11] Furthermore, the results of the study performed by Sirati Nir et al. illustrate that the level of stress among people working in the medical sector, such as doctors and nurses, is 57.4% higher than in nontherapeutic jobs.[12] The results of a meta-analysis on HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic represented the following percentages for the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress, posttraumatic stress syndrome, insomnia, anxiety, and burnout, respectively, 34.4%, 31.8%, 40.3%, 11.4%, 27.8%, 46.1%, and 37.4%.[13] It is worth mentioning that about 50% of the people who died because of COVID-19, were health workers who had some close contact with COVID-19 patients in the hospital.[14]

Maintaining mental and physical health is very crucial, and improving its quantity and quality can be effective in promoting health services and enhancing community health centers.[15] The results of studies have shown that the prevalence of corona in Iran is also high in some time periods.[16] The ever-increasing death toll and infection rate with coronavirus among nurses can cause stress in their colleagues, so it is essential to pay attention to their mental health because mental disorders can weaken the immune system, and as a result, it may lead to the coronavirus infection, especially among the nurses, with a history of mental disorders.[14] In the study of Dastyar and Karimiankakolaki, the results indicate that exposure to patients with COVID-19 can lead to decreased general health and thus increased medication error.[17] During the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the lethality of this virus, its rapid transmission, and its unknownness, it is expected that the medical staff will be more affected by the nature of their job hence the present study is of great importance.

Regarding the prevalence of COVID-19 disease and also the importance of health among the medical staff, since they are experiencing the highest exposure to stressful conditions such as deaths, illnesses, and high workload, and also the importance of the continuous presence of medical staff in the health-care system, the present study aimed to determine the general health status of medical staff and its related factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Shahid Rajaee Hospital to prevent physical and mental disorders and promote the health status in medical staff.


  Materials and Methods Top


This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the general health status of the medical staff in Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Daran city in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred and sixty-eight medical staff from different wards of the hospital participated in the present study, and the census method was used.

In the present study, the data were collected in four shifts of the morning, evening, night, and rotation continuously and self-report by the medical staff for 3 months (from February to April 2021). To conduct the study, first, the objectives of the study were explained to each person face-to-face, then, the necessary training and instructions on how to complete the questionnaire and the aims of the study were provided. Then, the questionnaires were given to the medical staff of different departments in person. The contact number was also included in the questionnaire to clear up any ambiguities.

Inclusion criteria were having complete satisfaction to participate in the research and also have work experience for at least 1 year in the hospital wards. The exclusion criteria were the participants reluctant to participate in the study.

The tools used for collecting the data were questionnaire measuring and correlated characteristics, including the Demographic Information Questionnaire, which has been provided for age, gender, marital status, work experience, employment status, education level, work shift, and job position, and the Persian versions of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28).

General Health Questionnaire

This questionnaire includes 28 questions in four scales; each scale has seven questions. Questions 1–6 and 19 are related to the scale of somatic symptoms; questions 7–13 are related to the scale of anxiety and sleep disorders; questions 20–25 and 28 are related to the scale of social dysfunction; and questions 14–18 and 26–27 are related to the scale of depression symptoms. The questionnaire scoring method is based on the Likert scale, and each of the questions has four options: 0, 1, 2, or 3, so the total score will vary from 0 to 84, and the higher the individual score is, the lower the mental health they have, and the other way round. Therefore, GH levels at different cutoff points can be interpreted as high (score 0 to 21), acceptable (score 22–42), moderate (score 43–64), and low (score 65–84).

Furthermore, in this study, a cutoff point of 23 (sensitivity of 71.3%, specificity of 90.6%, and overall classification error of 11.7%) for the whole and a cutoff point of 6 for each scale were used to compare the general health among the medical staff. According to this method, people who score higher than 6 in each scale and score higher than 23 in all of the four scales indicate the presence of specific symptoms of a disease or an injury. According to the GHQ-28, the final score that people get is in one of two areas: a healthy score (no or minimal disorder with a total score of 0 to 23) or an unhealthy score (one of three areas of mild, moderate, or severe illness with the full score of more than 23).[19] The 28-question version of this questionnaire has the highest validity, sensitivity, and specificity compared to other versions of this questionnaire.[18] In the study of Rashidi et al., the reliability of GHQ-28 was measured with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.88.[19] According to the GHQ-28, those with a score of 23 or lower are considered healthy and those with a score of 24 or higher are suspected of having the disorder.[20]

Statistical analysis

After collecting the data, the data were entered into SPSS software version 26 (Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Crop) for performing the required statistical analyses. The researcher evaluated the demographic characteristics using descriptive analysis (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage). In addition, the MannWhitney U test (for continuous variables), Kruskal–Wallis H test, and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to identify the relationship between demographic characteristics and general health, and the significance level was set at <0.05. Normality of the data was also tested through Kolmogorov–Smirnov test.


  Results Top


Totally 200 questionnaires, including demographic information and general health, were distributed among the medical staff working at different hospital wards, out of which 168 questionnaires were received that the response rate was 84% (168 out of 200). The Participant's age was 2259 years, and their mean age was 33.6 ± 8.3 years. The participants also had work experience ranging from 1 to 35 years; the mean work experience was 8.8 ± 8.2 [Table 1].

According to the results of the study, the general health score of all subjects was 20.77 ± 11.8, which indicates that the study population in the field of general health has no disturbance, or in other words, the general health score is fitting. Furthermore, individuals who had a mean score of over 6 on the scale of somatic symptoms and social dysfunction were in an unhealthy state. On the scale of anxiety and sleep disorders and depression symptoms, those who have a mean score of <6 are considered to be in healthy condition [Table 2]. As shown in table3, most medical staff(72.6%) had high general health [Table 3].

A comparison of general health status and its subscales in different wards of the hospital showed that radiology and COVID-19 wards had higher mean scores than other wards and did not have good general health status [Figure 1].

Spearman correlation test showed a significant correlation between general health, physical symptom scale, and depression symptom scale with age (P < 0.05), but no significant correlation was found between the two scales of anxiety and sleep disorder symptoms, and social dysfunction with age in medical staff (P > 0.05). On the other hand, a significant correlation was observed between the general health and depression symptom scale and work experience (P < 0.05) [Table 4].

Moreover, the results of the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis H tests showed only a statistically significant difference between general health (P = 0.040) and the subscale of Depression Symptoms (P = 0.019) with type of employment, but there was no statistically significant difference between other demographic variables and general health and its subscales (P > 0.05) [Table 5].

  Discussion Top


Health and its practical factors are some of the vital and influential components that can affect behavior, play individual and social roles, and improve organizational productivity. This study showed that according to cutoff point 23, 86.3% of medical staff have a good general health status, which is not consistent with the research of Kheyri et al., and Alipoor and Inanloo, performed on nurses.[21],[22] The reason for the difference with the study of Alipoor and Inanloo can be seen in the fact that only the intensive care unit has been evaluated, which is under more psychological pressure. In a study conducted by Hosseini-Almadvari and Nooreizadeh in 2022, the results show that 76.5% of emergency medical personnel have moderate-to-low general health.[23]

Given that general health is affected by multiple factors and medical staff suffer from various health problems due to job pressures, differences in their health status could be predicted in different working conditions. Besides other variables that were assessed in this study, the situation of variables such as gender, marital status, and job status was studied in the individuals as well. The results of the present study did not reveal any statistically significant relationship between general health and the variables of gender, marital status, and job status, which is not consistent with the results of Rahmani et al.'s study.[24] Furthermore, in the study of Kermansaravi et al., there was no significant relationship between gender and marital status with the areas of general health, which is in line with the results of this study.[25] This result indicates that not only women but also men can suffer from health problems.[26] It can also be explained that all people in the medical staff, regardless of gender, marital status, and job status, are under the same psychological pressure. Other studies have found conflicting results between general health and demographic variables. The results of a study conducted by Dadipoor et al. on nurses showed that there is a significant relationship between general health and gender, which is not consistent with the findings of this study.[27] According to the results obtained in the present study, there is a relationship between general health and education level and employment status, which is in line with the Hayati et al. study, conducted on the teaching hospital staff.[28] In Rahmani et al.'s study, a significant relationship was found between the type of employment and general health, which is in line with the present study.[24] In the study of Aghaeinejad et al., general health has no significant relationship with the level of education,[29] and this is contrary to the results of this study, In this regard, it can be considered a difference in the sample size and the statistical population, because Aghainejad et al. have only evaluated the operational staff working in emergency bases. In the Zolghadar and Rahimpoor study, the results showed that there was no correlation between demographic characteristics and general health.[30]

In a national survey, Kheyri et al. conducted a national survey of 5837 nursing staff in the country's teaching hospitals, the results of which showed a lack of significant relationship between general health and variables of marital status, shift work, age, and work experience. This is in line with the present study.[21]

According to the results of the present study, subscales of somatic symptoms and social function were the most effective subscales on general health. On the other hand, subscales of anxietysleep disorders and depression symptoms had the lowest effect on general health among the medical staff. The study of Ames et al., which was conducted in the COVID-19 pandemic, is consistent with the present study,[31] but, in Kermansaravi et al., the social function was the most appropriate scale.[25] Furthermore, in the Mani et al. study, which was conducted with the title of mental health status during the COVID-19 pandemic in Fars Province, social function was reported to be the most influential factor.[32] On the other hand, in the study of Chrzan-Rodak et al., which was conducted to investigate the relationship between social qualifications and mental health in nurses, the lowest effect is related to the depression symptom scale, which is similar to the present study.[33] In the study of Habibi et al., similar to the present study, the most effective subscale is somatic symptoms, and the least effective is considered to be depression symptoms,[34] but, the results of Khamisa et al.'s study depicted that 60% of poor general health condition was related to anxiety and insomnia,[35] which is contrary to the findings of the present study. Furthermore, in the Dastyar and Karimiankakolaki study in 2022, somatic symptoms were recognized as the most effective in general health.[17]

In addition to other variables that were studied in this research, work shift was studied as well, which according to the findings of the present study, there is not any significant relationship between general health and work shift, which is consistent with the results of Pourebrahimi et al.[36] while in Inanloo and Alipoor study, a noticeable relation was found between general health and work shift,[22] that is contrary to the results of the present study. Furthermore, in the study of Hojati et al., the results indicate that insomnia leads to a decrease in general health[37] The average general health score in COVID-19 sections and radiology wards is higher than in other wards, and they are in an unhealthy condition.

Differences in the results of other studies with the present study indicate the importance and necessity of this research. One of the advantages of this study is that it was performed at the time of the early COVID-19 pandemic. Its cross-sectional nature, not observation of the various factor effects of the mental health of medical staff over time and unwilling of a number of medical staff of the hospital to participate were the limitations of this study. Also, due to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, access to people who were exposed to coronary arteries was difficult. It is suggested that effective studies should be conducted as an intervention test to improve the general health of medical staff and assess the general health status after the corona pandemic in this hospital and compare it for future studies.


  Conclusion Top


In this study, somatic symptoms and depression were also identified as the most influential subscales on general health. The variables of age, work experience, and type of employment were the most important factors affecting general health. According to study results, it is recommended to use strategies such as turning the contractual group of individuals into formal employment and providing appropriate facilities in the workplace for individuals to reduce workload and increase job satisfaction to enhance the general health status.
