摘要：Hospital-based interventions addressing the needs of health care personnel are much needed to ensure a high-quality, sustainable response to the COVID-19 pandemic over time. Yet, knowledge of which organizational factors to target is currently sparse. The overarching aim of the current paper is to identify potential targets for organizational interventions to reduce stress among hospital personnel. Method: In June (time point 1, T1) and December (T2) 2020, a total of N = 1552 hospital personnel from four large university hospitals participated in a web-based survey. At each time point, participants were asked to range their exposure to work stressors, protection factors, and adverse health outcomes. Hospital provision of need-based help and support to reduce stress in personnel will serve as the main outcome in analyses. Results: Preliminary results of T1 data so far indicate that hospital personnel with higher exposure to COVID-19 patients more frequently experienced inadequate information and training for psychosocial self-care, higher levels of unpredictability in work structure, increased workload, more adverse experiences using personal protection equipment, and a higher sense of unsafety, were more frequently infected by COVID-19, and experienced higher levels of anxiety, depression, somatic and posttraumatic stress symptoms, in addition to less adequate help and support to reduce stress, as compared to colleagues less exposed to COVID-19 patients. Conclusions: The results from T1 and T2 data may help guide organizational efforts to more efficiently reduce stress among hospital personnel at different stages in response to long-term crises.
