“…Given the potential for severe consequences, including suicide, resulting from severe anxiety and depression, continued attention to the burnout of medical staff has become equally important (70). During COVID-19, various organizations have had well-established psychological support strategies for medical staff, and emerging remote psychological support methods not only significantly improve efficiency but also yield good results (71,72). These strategies remain necessary after the end of COVID-19.…”

ObjectiveAfter the end of COVID-19, medical staff were immediately faced with a high workload, leading to widespread occupational burnout. This study aims to explore the level and influencing factors of burnout among medical staff during this period, as well as its relationship with anxiety and depression.MethodsThe participants’ levels of burnout were assessed using Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), and the reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated through Cronbach’s α and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and Pearson analysis were employed to determine the correlation between two sets of variables. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify significant factors influencing burnout. Finally, nomograms were used to predict the probability of burnout occurrence.ResultsThis study collected a total of 1,550 questionnaires, and after excluding 45 questionnaires that were duplicates or incomplete, a sample of 1,505 (97.1%) participants were included in the final statistical analysis. Both Cronbach’s α and the fit indices of CFA demonstrated excellent adaptability of the Chinese version of MBI-HSS in this study. The overall prevalence rates for emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and diminished personal accomplishment (PA) were 52.4, 55.3, and 30.6%, respectively. Obtaining psychological support, health condition, relationship with family members, and insufficient sleep were identified as common contributing factors to burnout among medical staff. Additionally, age and promotion pressure were also associated with burnout among doctors, and exceeding legal working hours was an important factor for nurse burnout. The C-index for the nomograms predicting burnout among doctors and nurses was 0.832 and 0.843, respectively. Furthermore, burnout exhibited a significant linear correlation with anxiety and depression.ConclusionAfter the end of COVID-19, medical staff in high workload environments were facing severe burnout, which might lead to anxiety and depression. The occupational burnout of medical staff needed to be taken seriously and actively intervened.

“…In March 2022, the WHO and UNICEF launched the Ensuring Quality in Psychological Support (EQUIP) platform (http://www.equipcompetency.org; Kohrt et al, 2020), a freely available resource that aims to improve the competence of practitioners and the consistency and quality of psychological support training, supervision and service delivery. One of the EQUIP competency assessment tools focuses on core competencies for remote delivery of care (ENACT‐Remote; Pedersen et al, 2022) and could be used immediately by trainers and supervisors for identifying and removing potentially harmful behaviours and identifying and building helpful behaviours among practitioners (see Supplement for the ENACT‐Remote tool). Such implementation has been successful with similar tools in Jordan (Jordans et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionThe COVID‐19 pandemic has propelled a global paradigm shift in how psychological support is delivered. Remote delivery, through phone and video calls, is now commonplace around the world. However, most adoption of remote delivery methods is occurring without any formal training to ensure safe and effective care.ObjectiveThe purpose of this applied qualitative study was to determine practitioners' experiences of rapidly adapting to deliver psychological support remotely during COVID‐19.DesignWe used a pragmatic paradigm and applied approach to gain perspectives related to the feasibility and perceived usefulness of synchronous remote psychological support, including views on how practitioners can be prepared.MethodsKey informant interviews were conducted remotely with 27 specialist and non‐specialist practitioners in Nepal, Perú and the USA. Interviewees were identified through purposeful sampling. Data were analysed using framework analysis.ResultsRespondents revealed three key themes: (i) Remote delivery of psychological support raises unique safety concerns and interference with care, (ii) Remote delivery enhances skills and expands opportunities for delivery of psychological support to new populations, and (iii) New training approaches are needed to prepare specialist and non‐specialist practitioners to deliver psychological support remotely.ConclusionsRemote psychological support is feasible and useful for practitioners, including non‐specialists, in diverse global settings. Simulated remote role plays may be a scalable method for ensuring competency in safe and effective remotely‐delivered care.
