“…Another significant social factor is “the problem with patients and their families” as patient isolation due to COVID-19 and blocking of hospital visits make the nurses the main link between patients and their families with greater exposure to their abuse and unreasonable demands which put them under intense pressure. This is consistent with Hassan et al ( 2020 ) who reported that dealing with angry/blaming relatives and distressed patients, patients/relatives’ expectations of care that cannot be met were important stressors for all healthcare personnel.…”

Occupational stress associated with COVID-19 is an essential indicator of mental illness as it can lead to anxiety and depression in the confrontation of the co-occurrence of countless deaths, and long work shifts with the most diverse unknowns and demands.…”

During epidemics, the medical working environment is highly stressful especially for the nurses. The purpose of this study was to assess occupational stress, job satisfaction, and intent to leave among nurses dealing with suspected COVID-19 patients. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among 210 nurses from Zagazig Fever Hospital (ZFH) which is one of COVID-19 Triage Hospitals (Group I) versus 210 nurses from Zagazig General Hospital (ZGH) (Group II) which is neither triage nor isolation hospital; dealing only with suspected COVID-19 patients in emergency at Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, from 10th to 24th of April 2020. Assessment was done through online questionnaire formed of the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale, the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale, and questionnaire assessing specific COVID-19-associated stressors and nurses' intent to leave. Three quarters of nurses (75.2%) in ZFH had high stress level versus 60.5% in ZGH. Workload (98.6%), dealing with death and dying (96.7%), personal demands and fears (95.7%), employing strict biosecurity measures (95.2%), and stigma (90.5%) represented the highest priority stressors in ZFH, while exposure to infection risk (97.6%) was the stressor of highest priority among ZGH according to Pareto analysis. More than half of nurses (51.0%) in ZFH reported low satisfaction level versus 41.9% in ZGH. Only 4.8% of nurses in ZFH definitely had no intent to leave their present job. Type of hospital and its related workload were the most significant predictor of all the studied outcomes.

Another study found residents to have a high (81%) rate of emotional burnout (EE) as well as high rates (64%) of depersonalization (DP).…”

Burnout among physicians and dermatologists is gaining a wide attention in the recent decade. The aim of this cross sectional study was to assess the prevalence and predicting factors for burnout among Egyptian dermatologists. A cross sectional study was designed and data were collected using structured open access survey. A total of 144 dermatologists completed the full questionnaire. The majority of dermatologists completing the survey 85 (59%) were between 30 and 40 years age group while those above 50 years of age represented a minority 10 (6.9%). The Mean score of emotional exhaustion was 29.24 ± 12.73 (high) while that of personal accomplishment was 29.14 ± 9.24 (moderate) and for depersonalization was 10.07 ± 6.46 (moderate). We demonstrated high burnout prevalence among Egyptian dermatologist that needs to be further verified by other randomized studies. Being a resident dermatologist living in a rural locality and with more than 8 daily working hours were significant predictors of increased burnout rates.

“…In terms of the environmental health consequences impacted by natural factors such as work stresses, Hassan et al (2020) investigated the effects from prolonged working hours, sleep deprivation, and high job demands on 278 physicians at Tanta University Hospitals between December 2016 and February 2017. Medical residents experienced moderate to high level of job stress resulted from the underpayment for the job (87.4%), serving to large number of patients (85.2%), disruption of home life due to long hours at work (83.9%), conflict of responsibilities (81.3), and complying with increasing bureaucratic procedures (78.8%) besides no available fund for research (74.8%).…”
