ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the status of uncertainty stress and occupational well-being of medical staff in Zhejiang Province, and to analysis the relationship between them, in the context of a pandemic of novel coronavirus pneumonia (corona virus disease 2019, COVID-19).Methods:From May to June 2021, 1 028 medical staff were selected from 8 Class Ⅲ hospitals in Zhejiang Province by convenience sampling. The cross-sectional survey was conducted with the General Information Questionnaire, the Uncertainty Stress Scale and the Occupational Well-being Scale. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between uncertain psychological stress and occupational well-being of medical staff, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of occupational well-being of medical staff.Results:The total score of uncertainty stress of 1028 medical staff was (25.62±8.92), and the total score of occupational well-being was (75.03±14.68) at a moderate level, including 48 (4.7%) participants with a high level of occupational well-being. Uncertainty stress of medical staff was negatively correlated with occupational well-being ( r=-0.46, P<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that working years, hospital class, interests, leisure time, personality traits, status of self-reported health and levels of uncertainty stress had statistically significant influence on occupational well-being ( t=-2.30-10.28, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The occupational well-being of medical staff in Zhejiang Province needs to be improved. Health administrative departments should formulate targeted intervention measures to enhance the ability of medical staff to cope with uncertainty stress, so as to improve the occupational well-being of medical staff.
