“…It has also been identified as an independent predictor of secondary traumatic stress. This is in concordance with previous studies suggesting that women experienced greater psychological vulnerability compared to men during this pandemic [ 25 , 31 ]. In addition, a study conducted by Liu et al that analyzed the difference of post traumatic secondary stress prevalence in gender during Covid-19 outbreak in China demonstrated that female healthcare professionals were more susceptible to have re-experiencing symptoms than men [ 32 ].…”

“…Similarly, compassion satisfaction was found to be a determinant factor of BO. These findings confirm those of the one similar Tunisian study that used the same valid tools [ 25 ]. Indeed, some prior studies conducted in Spain and Saudi Arabia strongly supported this hypothesis [ 29 , 30 ].…”

“…Overall, the study respondents reported moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress. These findings join those of a similar Tunisian study performed during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic among 250 HCWs in public and private healthcare facilities, revealing that the sampled HCWs experimented moderate levels of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue [ 25 ]. Of note, 5% of participants in our study experienced high levels of compassion fatigue which was in concordance with a prior study conducted by Cho Lee Wong et al [ 16 ].…”

“…Similar to the findings of the single Tunisian study addressing this topic during the Covid-19 pandemic, there were significant differences by professional category for all three components of the ProQoL [ 25 ]. Thus, junior doctors scored significantly higher on burnout, while they scored significantly lower on compassion satisfaction for which senior doctors earned the highest score.…”

Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) are highly vulnerable to compassion fatigue (CF), which not only leads to decreased mental and physical health, but also to deterioration in the safety of care delivered. Our study aims to measure compassion satisfaction (CS), CF levels and their predictors among Tunisian HCWs. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among HCWs caring for confirmed and suspected Covid-19 patients, staff at two university hospitals in Sousse, Tunisia during the 4thwave of coronavirus through a self-administrated Questionnaire, using the French version of the Professional Quality of Life scale ProQol, version 5. Results A total of 274 professionals were recruited with a mean age of 32.87±8.35 years. HCWs tend to have an overall moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress and burnout with mean scores 35.09±7.08, 29.72±7.62, 28.54±5.44 respectively. Self-reported resilience (β = 0.14, p = 10−3), work engagement (β = 0.39, p = 10−3) and burnout (β = -0.32, p = 10−3) were the predictors of compassion satisfaction in the linear regression analysis (adjusted r2 = 0.45). Similarly, limited work experience, compassion satisfaction and secondary traumatic sub-scores were the determinants of burnout (β = -0.1, p = 0.04; β = -0.54, p = 10−3; β = 0.35, p = 10−3 respectively); (adjusted r2 = 0.48). Regarding STS, female professionals (β = 0.20, p = 10−3), being married (β = 0.19, p = 10−3), the fear of transmitting the infection (β = 0.11, p = 0.03) and burnout (β = 0.39, p = 10−3) were the predictors for the occurrence of secondary traumatic stress (adjusted r2 = 0.48). Conclusion More resilience promoting interventions and more coping skills programs must be implemented to fulfill HCWs’ psychological well-being needs.

Introduction Mental health issues are being reported increasingly amongst healthcare staff and students globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of common mental health issues amongst dental faculty members at multiple institutions in Pakistan. Methods Following approval from the institutional ethics review board, dental faculty members at 14 dental institutions were invited to participate in an online survey based on globally validated scales for mental health problems including the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Two open-ended questions were included in the survey to identify perceived factors contributing to poor mental health and recommendations for improving institutional support. Results A total of 200 faculty members out of provided their responses to the survey questionnaire but complete responses were provided by 183 participants which included 120 (65.57%) females, and 63 (34.43%) males. The total number of faculty members at the participating institutions was 426 and 183 responses translated into an overall response rate of 43%. Most participants were in the 31–40 years age-group (n = 81, 44.26%) followed by 25–30 year (n = 51, 22.87%) and 41–50 years (n = 40, 21.86%). The mean score on PHQ-9 was 6.51 (SD ± 5.4) while the mean DASS-21 score was 13.04 (SD ± 10.95). PHQ-9 Depression, and DASS-21 Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scores were all significantly positively correlated for the whole sample, and within each subgroup of each demographic factor. Job-related workload, lack of institutional support, financial limitations, and poor work life balance were identified as the main factors contributing adversely to the mental health of the participants. Discussion This study provides useful insights into the scale of mental health status amongst dental faculty members at 14 institutions in Pakistan. Underlying factors affecting the mental health of faculty members adversely were identified and recommendations are provided to address these challenges.
