Resumen


Resumen

Introducción:  existen factores laborales que influyen en la presencia de la depresión.

Objetivo: determinar la asociación entre la exposición a la COVID-19 y la depresión en médicos y enfermeras de los cuatro hospitales del Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI (CMN SXXI): Oncología, Especialidades, Cardiología y Pediatría.

Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal, en enero del 2022, con 870 participantes pertenecientes a la población de médicos y enfermeras que laboraban en el CMN SXXI, se excluyó a los trabajadores que se encontraban con incapacidad, al personal temporal y/o con menos de un año de antigüedad laboral. A través de un cuestionario autoaplicable se interrogó sobre el grado de exposición laboral a la atención de pacientes con COVID-19, antecedentes de infección por la COVID-19 y el cuestionario de salud del paciente (PHQ-9). El análisis incluyo medidas de frecuencia simple y razón de Momios (RM), Chi cuadrada y regresión logística múltiple con p ≤ 0.05.

Resultados: la prevalencia de depresión en personal médico y de enfermería del CMN SXXI fue del 32.2% (grado moderado a severo). En la regresión múltiple se encontró asociación con no identificar apoyo por parte del Instituto (RM: 1.60, IC95%: 1.08-2.39, p = 0.02), alta exposición laboral (RM: 8.35, IC95%: 3.02-23.09, p ˂ 0.0001) y más de 5 días laborados a la semana atendiendo pacientes con la COVID-19 (RM: 2.51, IC95%: 1.35-4.49, p = 0.004) y como factor protector el que nunca se hayan enfermado de la COVID-19 (RM: 0.61, IC95%: 0.43-0.86, p = 0.01).

Conclusiones: la prevalencia de depresión fue mayor a la esperada y se asoció con el grado de exposición laboral en la atención de pacientes con la COVID-19.

 

Abstract

Background: There are many working factors to do with depression.

Objective: To determine the association between the exposure to COVID-19 and depression in physicians and nurses from the four hospitals at “Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI” (CMN SXXI) took part in: Oncology, Specialties, Cardiology and Pediatrics.

Material and methods: A cross-sectional study of 856 participants took place in January 2022, excluding workers, such as physicians and nurses from the CMN SXXI, disabled workers, staff with a union agreement, support staff and/or staff with less than one year of work labour. Through a self-administered questionnaire, the degree of occupational exposure to patients care with COVID-19, a history of COVID-19 infection, and the patient’s health quiz were asked (PHQ-9). The analysis included simple frequency measurements, odds ratio (OR), Chi squared and multiple logistics regression with p ≤ 0.05.

Results: The prevalence of depression in the medical and nursing staff at CMN SXXI was 32.2% (moderate to severe degree); In the multiple regression, an association was identified with not identifying support by the Institute (OR: 1.60, CI95%: 1.08-2.39, p = 0.02), high occupational exposure (OR: 8.35, CI95%: 3.02-23.09, p ˂ 0.0001), and more than 5 working days a week serving the COVID-19 patients (OR: 2.51, CI95%: 1.35-4.49, p = 0.004) and as a protective factor the fact that they have never had the COVID-19 (OR: 0.61, CI95%: 0.43-0.86, p = 0.01).

Conclusions: The prevalence of depression was higher than expected being associated with the degree of occupational exposure in the COVID-19 patients´ assistance.
