Tóm tắt

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many healthcare workers' physical and mental health. This study was conducted to identify the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorders due to the COVID-19 pandemic among healthcare workers and analyze some associated factors in 2021. A cross-sectional study was carried out to collect data from 470 participants who are healthcare workers at different hospitals in Hanoi, including Hanoi Medical University Hospital, Dong Da Hospital, and Thanh Nhan Hospital. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised was used to analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the post-traumatic stress disorders of healthcare workers. The results of the study showed that the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorders due to the COVID-19 pandemic among study participants was 28.09%. The healthcare worker with greater post-traumatic stress disorders was a person who works in Internal medicine, was a female, and worked long hours (more than 8 hours per day), with vaccination being a protective factor. It is recommended to support and improve preventive measures for occupational health workers.
