RESUMO
Introduction: Physicians and other healthcare personnel have an important role during epidemic of public health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic . It has been observed that this pandemic has increased the stress of different communities, hnology;especially medical staff. Since the widespread of this disease, no research has been conducted on the effects of this pandemic on the stress and resilience of pediatric and emergency assistants of Iran. The present research aims to evaluate the association between resilience and stress of coronavirus (COVID-19) in pediatric and emergency assistants of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2021. Method: The present research is a cross-sectional study. The statistical population included 52 pediatric and emergency assistants of Ali Asghar and Rasoul Akram hospitals in Tehran , 2021. The census sampling method was implemented for selecting the samples. For deliberating content validity and reliability, 30 questionnaires were initially examined and after confirmation , other samples were examined. In the present study, 2 questionnaires were used and 52 people responded to them, and then the two components of content validity ratio and content validity index (CVI and CVR) were evaluated. For determining the reliability , the Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula was implemented, after calculating Conor and Davidson resilience alpha, (CD-RIS) the score 0.90 and for the anxiety scale of coronavirus in pediatric and emergency assistants, digit 0.89 was obtained, and considering that both of them are greater than. 0.7 , appropriate reliability was obtained. Considering the normality of the data, Pearson correlation coefficient was used for analyzing the association between resilience and stress in pediatric and emergency assistants . Results: Since sig was higher than 0.05 (0.1), the null hypothesis was confirmed and the opposite hypothesis was rejected, and no significant association was found among these two variables (P = 0.6). The results also demonstrated that there was no association between resilience and stress in assistants and residents. Since there was no association among the two variables, the intensity and directions were not assessed. The findings showed that most pediatric assistants and residents were stressed about the new coronavirus disease and the health of individuals that are close to them. According to the chi-square test and probability value, it was found that there was no significant association among the demographic characteristics and stress of coronavirus in pediatric and emergency assistants and their resilience scale.
RESUMO
Introduction: Physicians and other healthcare personnel play a major role at time widespread public health crises such as COVID-19 epidemic. This epidemic is likely, increase anxiety in the community, especially among medical students. Since COVID-19 outbreak, studies about this epidemic effects on anxiety and resilience in pediatric and emergency assistants of Iran have not been conducted. This study investigates the relationship between resilience and anxiety of coronavirus (COVID-19) in pediatric and emergency assistants of Iran Medical Sciences University in 2021. Method: This research is the result of a cross-sectional study. The statistical population of this study includes 52 pediatric and emergency assistants of Ali Asghar and Rasoul Akram hospitals in Tehran, 2021. To select a statistical sample, a census sampling method was used and was filled out by pediatric and emergency assistants. To deliberate content validity and reliability, we first examined 30 questionnaires and after confirming it, we examined other samples. In this study, we used 2 questionnaires and 52 people responding to them, and then we measured two components called content validity ratio and content validity index, (CVI and CVR). It was used the quintuple Likert scale. To determine the research reliability, we used the Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula, after calculating Conor and Davidson resilience alpha, (CD-RIS) the score 0.90 and for the anxiety scale of coronavirus in pediatric and emergency assistants, digit 0.89 were obtained, since both of them are greater than. 0.7, so this test has acceptable reliability. Data analysis: Due to the normality of the data, we used Pearson- correlation coefficient to analyze relationship between resilience and anxiety coronavirus (COVID-19) in pediatric and emergency assistants. Because sig is greater than 0.05 (0.1), the null hypothesis is confirmed and the opposite hypothesis is rejected, so there is no significant correlation between these two variables (P = 0.6). Also, the coefficient of this correlation for 52 data is 0.2. According to the results, we find out that there is no significant relationship between resilience and anxiety in assistants and residents. Since there is no correlation between the two variables, the intensity and directions are not studied. Results: The results showed that most pediatric assistants and residents are concerned about the COVID-19 contagious to the people around them. Fewer people have anxiety of coronavirus. There is no significant relevancy between these two variables (P = 0.6). Also, the correlation coefficient for 52 data is 0.2. Proper resilience is a personality trait, which enables people to cope better with stressful or traumatic events. People who have health literacy in disease are more likely have adequate flexibility, which in turn can decrease their anxiety level. According to the chi-square test and probability value, we find out that there is no significant relationship between individual's demographic characteristics and anxiety of coronavirus in pediatric and emergency assistants and their resilience scale.
RESUMO
Coronaviruses are a group of highly enveloped, diverse, and RNA-containing viruses that lead into respiratory, intestinal, hepatic, and neurological diseases with varied severity in a wide spectrum of animal species, such as human. In December 2019, a new coronavirus was detected in China that was stronger than the rest of the Coronaviridae family, causing potential hurt to vital organs such as the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and pneumonia. Although COVID-19 was reported in adults during early stages of the epidemic, further studies have shown that young children and infants are also vulnerable to the infection. Since this disease occurs in children and infants and since it may in some cases cause a critical and severe condition in them, the present study tries to find methods of prevention and treatment approaches in children with the coronavirus. © 2020 EManuscript Technologies.
