Associations among infection prevention professionals' mental/physical health, lifestyle behaviors, shift length, race, and workplace wellness support during COVID-19

Bernadette Mazurek Melnyk et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the mental and physical health, as well as lifestyle behaviors of infection prevention professionals (IPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that a small percentage of IPs met the guidelines for sleep, physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption. Rates of depression, anxiety, and burnout were high among IPs. IPs in frontline and administrative roles had more negative mental health impacts. IPs with organizational wellness support had better wellbeing outcomes. IPs working longer hours were more likely to experience worsening physical and mental health. There were no significant differences in the impact of COVID-19 on lifestyle behaviors between white and racially/ethnically diverse IPs.

Burnout and well-being of healthcare workers in the post-pandemic period of COVID-19: a perspective from the job demands-resources model

Ting Zhou et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of epidemic-related job stressors, perceived social support, and organizational support on burnout and well-being among Chinese healthcare workers during the regular epidemic prevention and control of COVID-19. It also explored the moderating effects of social support and organizational support on the relationship between job stressors and burnout and well-being. The results showed that medical doctors, women, individuals aged 30-50, and those working in the second line during the pandemic reported higher levels of psychological symptoms and burnout. Epidemic-related job stressors positively predicted burnout, anxiety, and depression, while perceived social support and organizational support were negatively related to these symptoms. Social support alleviated the adverse effects of job stressors on anxiety and depression, but enhanced the association between stressors and burnout. Organizational support mitigated the adverse effects of job stressors on depression.
