简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of trauma and mental symptoms (i.e., depression and anxiety) among health workers and public service providers 3 months after (T2) the strict social distancing government initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) related to the COVID-19 pandemic (T1), in a period of lifted distancing protocols. The study also aims to investigate predictors of trauma-symptoms, by analyzing how predictors measured during the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with change in PTSD symptoms from T1 to T2.
详细描述
Hypotheses/Research questions:
H1: There will be a significant decrease in PTSD-symptoms, anxiety and depression from T1 to T2.
Exploratory: Examine the differences in levels of trauma, anxiety, depression and quality of life among different health workers, public service providers, demographic subgroups, and between those working directly vs indirectly with COVID-19 patients at T2. Examine the differences in change of trauma, anxiety and depression among different health workers, public service providers, demographic subgroups, and between those working directly vs indirectly with COVID-19 patients.
H2: Higher level at T1 and less reduction from T1 to T2 in metacognition, strategies, burnout, worry about job and economy, interpersonal problems at baseline will be associated with less reduction in PTSD-symptom from T1 to T2, above and beyond direct vs. indirect exposure to trauma, demographic variables (age and gender, living with a partner, living with children).
