Özet

Objective: COVID19 outbreak has put a tremendous physical and mental burden on frontline doctors. A limited amount of literature is available in this area. The present study was done to assess the depressive symptoms and depression levels in doctors working at COVID-19 Hospitals. Method: This study was based on an online survey that was started on May 2020 and ended on 30th June, 2020. An online questionnaire which included details such as age, gender, and 21 items to assess depressive symptoms was sent through social media to doctors from various countries. Depressive symptoms were measured by Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Items of a total of 220 questionnaires were responded. Out of these, only 200 responses were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Out of 200 subjects, 110 (55%) had depressive symptoms and 90 (45%) had no symptoms. Males had more depressive symptoms (42.5%) than females (12.5%). Those who worked at COVID-19 centers 75 (37.5%) had higher depressive symptoms. The number of males working at COVID-19 centers was much higher (36%) than females (12%). Depressive symptoms were significantly higher in males than females (35.35±10.25 vs 16.90±7.76; p<0.0001). Conclusion: Doctors, especially males working at COVID-19 centers have higher depressive symptoms than their female colleagues. Multicentric studies with larger sample sizes are needed to study the impact of COVID-19 on frontline doctors.

Abstract

Amaç: COVID-19 salgını, ön saflarda çalışan doktorların üzerine muazzam bir fiziksel ve zihinsel yük bindirmiştir. Bu konuda kısıtlı bir alan yazın mevcuttur. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 hastanelerinde çalışan doktorlarda depresif belirtileri ve depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, Mayıs 2020’de başlayan ve 30 Haziran 2020’de sona eren çevrimiçi bir ankete dayanmaktadır. Depresif belirtileri değerlendirmek için yaş, cinsiyet ve 21 maddelik ölçeği içeren çevrimiçi bir anket çeşitli ülkelerden doktorlara sosyal medya aracılığıyla gönderilmiştir. Depresif belirtiler, Beck Depresyon Envanteri-II (BDI-II) ile ölçülmüştür. Toplam 220 anket yanıtlanmıştır. Bunlardan sadece 200 anket SPSS yazılımı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: 200 kişiden 110’unda (%55) depresif belirtiler vardır ve 90’ında (%45) belirti yoktur. Erkeklerde (%42,5) kadınlardan (%12,5) daha fazla depresif belirtiler saptanmıştır. COVID19 merkezlerinde çalışan 75 (%37,5) doktor daha yüksek depresif belirtilere sahiptir. COVID-19 merkezlerinde çalışan erkeklerin sayısı, kadınlardan (%12) daha yüksektir (%36). Depresif belirtiler erkeklerde kadınlara göre anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksektir (35,35±10,25’e karşı 16,90±7,76; p<0.0001). Sonuç: COVID-19 merkezlerinde çalışan doktorlar, özellikle erkek olanlar, kadın meslektaşlarından daha yüksek depresif belirtilere sahiptir. COVID-19’un ön saflarda çalışan doktorlar üzerindeki etkisini incelemek için daha büyük örnekleme sahip çok merkezli bir çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
