Abstract

Online questionnaires were administered to 2157 healthcare wokers and professionals in Hanoi in 2020 to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their work and personal life.  Health workers at district/commune facilities had more pressure at work than those at national hospitals (Coef: 0.14; 95% CI: 0.059; 0.148). Nurses were more likely to experience work pressure than doctors. (Coef: 0.5; 95% CI: 0.009-0.095). The higher years in age and employment, the greater the work pressure, but also the more optimistic working attitude. Workers in areas at high risk of exposure to COVID-19 were more pessimistic than those who were areas with little risk of exposure.
