“…30 In a metaanalysis, 31 the prevalence of anxiety in healthcare workers is reported to be 23.2%. Studies 12,30 conducted in other parts of the world indicate that the prevalence of anxiety is about 12.9% to 50%, whereas this study reports it to be considerably higher than this range. The high prevalence of anxiety in quarantine hotel employees could be attributed to the ongoing struggle they experience while working with guests suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, whilst 2748 also trying to protect themselves and their families.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a far-reaching and unprecedented influence on economies worldwide. It has also impacted on the global population's mental health and caused negative psychosocial effects, which may lead to psychological crises. During the pandemic, the challenges for quarantine hotel employees are not only the increased workloads created by operating a quarantine hotel but also high psychological stress associated with job insecurity, risk of exposure and contagion for themselves, their friends and families. This research attempts to explore COVID-19-related depression, anxiety, and stress among quarantine hotel employees in China. The mental health of quarantine hotel employees, who have faced unprecedented changes, is paramount while they provide hospitality and care for healthcare workers and quarantine guests during mandatory quarantine periods. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that applied convenience sampling to collect questionnaire samples from 170 quarantine hotel employees in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, during the COVID-19 pandemic, from May 20 to June 10, 2020. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to collect data. The study uses descriptive analysis, chi-square test and binary logistic regression to examine the sociodemographic factors associated with depression, anxiety and stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: The results reveal that 43.5% of respondents report moderate to extremely severe symptoms of depression; 68.2% have moderate to extremely severe anxiety symptoms; and 8.2% indicated moderate to extremely severe stress symptoms. Quarantine hotel employees who have a higher level of education are less likely to experience anxiety, and those with higher incomes are less likely to experience depression. Discussion: In order to mitigate the increasing levels of anxiety and depression among their staff, quarantine hoteliers or managers urgently need to implement mental health assistance programs, such as providing extra training in hygiene and knowledge about COVID-19, offering online counseling and psychological support services, training in positive thinking, encouraging staff to keep in touch with their personal support networks, and constructing a resilience model.

Aim: To examine changes in general and work well-being of health professionals in the Republic ofCroatia during the first and second waves of the pandemic COVID-19. Although there are numerousstudies, in our country and worldwide, that have examined the general and/or work well-being of healthcare workers during the pandemic(s), few researchers have used a longitudinal approach.Participants and methods: Ninety-two participants took part in the study. Most of the participantswere nurses and technicians (N=88; 95.65%), while physicians were represented to a much lesser extent(N=4; 4.35%). The sample was dominated by women (N=82; 89.1%), compared to men (N=10; 10.9%).Data from all participants were collected at two measurement time points corresponding to the two wavesof the pandemic in the Republic of Croatia. In addition to questions on sociodemographic characteristics(age, gender, workplace...), the following instruments were used: DASS-42 (to assess depression, anxietyand stress), Short Mental Health Inventory, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory and Job Satisfaction Scale.Results: A statistically significant increase in the level of depression (p < 0.05), anxiety (p < 0.05), andstress (p < 0.05) was found during the second wave of the pandemic compared to the first wave. Nosignificant changes were found in the general mental health status of the participants (p > 0.05). Regardingwork well-being, a significantly higher level of exhaustion was found (p < 0.05), while no significantchange was recorded in the level of alienation (p > 0.05), nor in the participants' job satisfaction (p > 0.05).Conclusion: Although the second wave of the pandemic was associated with an increase in depression,anxiety, stress, and exhaustion among convenient sample of health care workers, there was no decrease inlevels of mental health, job satisfaction, and alienation (burnout dimension).
