RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Healthcare workers are under significant constant stress as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The aim of this study, therefore, was to analyze bibliometrically the impact, trend, and characteristics of scientific production related to the mental health of health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A bibliometric analysis of the scientific production on the mental health of health professionals and COVID-19 in Scopus from December 2019 to December 2021 was performed. An advanced search was designed using Boolean operators in Scopus and applied in April 2022. The metadata was entered into Microsoft Excel for the elaboration of the tables, SciVal to obtain the bibliometric indicators, and VosViewer to plot collaborative networks. RESULTS: A total of 1393 manuscripts, 1007 of which met the eligibility criteria, were found on the mental health of health workers and COVID-19. The country with the highest academic production was the United States and Harvard University with 27 manuscripts as the most productive institution. The scientific journal with the highest scientific production was the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health with 138 manuscripts and 1580 citations, and the author with the most citations per publication was Carnnasi Claudia with 69.8. CONCLUSION: The countries with the highest economic income occupy the first places in scientific production on the mental health of health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the United States as the leader. There is a gap in the scientific knowledge on the mental health of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in middle- and low-income countries.
RESUMO
Introducción: La calidad de vida laboral es un proceso dinámico que favorece el desarrollo humano y el bienestar de los trabajadores, cuya percepción puede determinar el compromiso con su organización. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre la calidad de vida laboral y el compromiso con el trabajo en el personal de enfermería de un hospital público. Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado en una muestra constituida por 43 enfermeros de un servicio de emergencia, los cuales respondieron el cuestionario de calidad de vida laboral en hospitales públicos y la escala Utrecht de compromiso en el trabajo. Se estimaron frecuencias y porcentaje, medias y desviación estándar. Se utilizó la prueba de correlación de Spearman. Resultados: Los enfermeros presentaron un buen nivel de compromiso en el trabajo (4,70 ± 0,99), la dedicación fue la dimensión mejor valorada, seguida del vigor (4,74 ± 0,85) y absorción (4,59 ± 1,35). La calidad de vida laboral media fue alta (2,18 ± 0,34). El bienestar logrado a través del trabajo fue la dimensión mejor valorada. El compromiso en el trabajo y la calidad de vida laboral tuvieron una relación significativa (rho= 0,875; p≤ 0,001). Conclusiones: La calidad de vida laboral en el personal de enfermería tiene una relación directa y alta con el compromiso.

Objective: To determine the relationship between the quality of working life and the engagement in the nursing staff of a public hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out in a sample of 43 nurses from an emergency department, who answered the questionnaire of quality of working life in public hospitals and the Utrecht scale of commitment at work. Frequencies and percentage, means and standard deviation were estimated. The Spearman correlation test was used. Results: Nurses presented a good level of commitment at work (4.70 ± 0.99), dedication was the best valued dimension, followed by vigor (4.74 ± 0.85) and absorption (4.59 ± 1.35). The mean quality of working life was high (2.18 ± 0.34). The well-being achieved through work was the dimension best valued. Work engagement and quality of working life had a significant relationship (rho= 0.875; p≤ 0.001). Conclusions: The quality of working life in the nursing staff had a direct and high relationship with engagement.
