ABSTRACT
egePan-VOICE study on the psychosocial burden of the Covid-19 pandemic among - medical technical assistants Objectives:
The Covid-19 pandemic is associated with increased demands on healthcare workers. A previously neglected occupational group is medical technical assistants (MTA). The aim is therefore to identify stress factors among MTA in Germany during the pandemic.Methods:
A cross-sectional online survey of medical staff was conducted in spring 2020 (N = 8088).Results:
N = 1483 records of MTA were analyzed. Retrospectively, the stress increased under the pandemic, and 60.1 % of MTA suffered from work stress (ERI). Staff shortages and extra work were associated with an increase in work stress. Problems of work-life balance and contact with contaminated material/infected persons favored stressful experiences.Conclusions:
Some working conditions in the pandemic pose a potential health risk to MTA. It seems necessary to create improvements in the general conditions that enable healthily and effective work.Keywords
