“…In the study by Andruszkiewicz et al [11] conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of job satisfaction assessed with the same scale was at an average level (19.9 pts), Brayer and Marcinowicz obtained similar results in a study before the COVID-19 pandemic [12].…”

Background: Nurses constitute a crucial professional group within the healthcare system. Job satisfaction and opportunities for professional development directly impact the quality of medical services provided and help prevent burnout. The study aimed to assess the preferred career model, the level of job satisfaction, and determine the type of work-related behavior presented by Polish nurses. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 795 nurses after the COVID-19 pandemic. Three standardized scales were used: My Career questionnaire to access the preferred career model, the Job Satisfaction Scale, and Work -Related Behavior and Experience Patterns (Arbeitsbesorgenes Verhaltens und Erlebenmuster -AVEM) questionnaire assessing types of work-related behavior. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression were used for analysis of data. Results: The results concerning the relationship between the types of work-related behavior, job satisfaction, and the preferred career model revealed that type G (healthy) was significantly and positively correlated (p < 0.05, r > 0) with the Challenge subscale of the career model (r = 0.095, p = 0.007) and job satisfaction (r = 0.136, p < 0.001). The higher the score on the Challenge subscale and greater job satisfaction, the more pronounced type G personality. The multiple linear regression models explained only 2.5 to 5% of the variability of studied questionnaire outcomes but indicated that significant, independent predictors for the My Career questionnaire subscales and AVEM raw scales for each type were additional qualifications, level of education, work experience, and place of work. Significant predictors of the job satisfaction scale were employment in private healthcare facilities and a master's degree. Conclusions: Nurses experience job satisfaction, but the workload, demanding daily tasks, and the sense of responsibility can lead them to feel fatigued and burnt out. The preferred career model involves Security and stability, as well as Service and commitment to other domains. Only a small percentage of the variability in the results of the analyzed dependent variables was explained by the explanatory variables included in the model.

“…In addition, we performed multiple logistic regression analyses to examine the associations between depression/anxiety and other factors ( Tables 2 , 3 ), and our results showed that working as a nurse is one of the risk factors for an increase in the levels of depression and anxiety. Moreover, the unpredictable pressure exerted by the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems brings big challenges to nurses, which may affect their mental health well-being ( 32 , 44 ). Furthermore, several other studies conducted during the initial and ongoing phase of the COVID-19 pandemic also reported similar findings ( 23 , 45 ).…”

“…Compared with primary healthcare workers who were single and being married, being divorced or widowed by primary healthcare workers who could not get enough family support and share their mental burdens through communication and emotional support turned out to be a more important factor in differentiating depression and anxiety ( 36 ). Previous studies have indicated that family and social support, including support from friends and colleagues, may help alleviated feeling of insecurity and loneliness and reduce their depression and anxiety during the post-pandemic period ( 44 , 51 ). Additionally, married individuals who have strong social support experience a buffering effect on the exacerbation of depression caused by disrupted biological rhythms.…”

BackgroundThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health among healthcare workers has been widely reported during the initial and ongoing phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, little remains known about the mental health status of primary healthcare workers in China during the post-pandemic era.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between March 1, 2023, and May 31, 2023 in Anhui China. A total of 13,530 primary healthcare workers were recruited. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify potential factors associated with the incidence of depression and anxiety among primary healthcare workers.ResultsThe prevalence of depression and anxiety among primary healthcare workers was 50.7 and 26.4%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression revealed that female gender (OR = 1.345, 95%CI = 1.222–1.479), being divorced or widowed (OR = 1.432, 95%CI = 1.128–1.817), being a nurse (OR = 1.250, 95%CI = 1.126–1.388), and working more than 8 h per day (OR = 1.710, 95%CI = 1.583–1.846) were significantly associated with depression. A higher risk of anxiety among primary healthcare workers was associated with female gender (OR = 1.338, 95%CI = 1.198–1.494), being divorced or widowed (OR = 1.373, 95%CI = 1.056–1.770), being a nurse (OR = 1.139, 95%CI = 1.013–1.282), and working more than 8 h per day (OR = 1.638, 95%CI = 1.497–1.794). Better monthly income, more than 21 years of working experience and without experience of workplace violence were protective factors against depression and anxiety during the post-pandemic era.ConclusionDepressive symptoms are more common among primary healthcare workers in China during the post-pandemic era. Female gender, being divorced or widowed, being a nurse, working years, working seniority, monthly income, and experience of workplace violence were identified as associated factors. Targeted intervention is needed when developing strategies to reduce depression and improve primary healthcare workers’ wellness and mental health.

Introduction: COVID-19 changed students' educational activities, especially during internships taking into account the condition of the number exposed to COVID-19. A preliminary study conducted on 11 students showed that they all felt anxious about undertaking an internship during the pandemic. This can negatively impact quality of life, learning, academic performance, and clinical practice performance. The aim of this study is to find out the description of students' anxiety during internships. Methods: This research is a quantitative observational study with a descriptive research design—a sample of 148 students with a purposive sampling method. The variable in this study was detained students who were undergoing internships during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The instrument used in this study was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating for Scale (HAM-A), which had been tested for validity and reliability to see the level of student anxiety during the internship. The results of the questionnaire were then analyzed through descriptive/univariate analysis. Results: Almost all respondents had a mild anxiety level, 120 respondents (81.08%). Conclusions: A suitable coping mechanism for students during internships, is a strategy to deal with anxiety. Clarifying information, consistently implementing health protocols correctly, maintaining health by exercising regularly, eating healthy food, and communicating well with family and friends must still be carried out by students so that the support system remains stable
