Objective:
This study is on mental health status of anesthesiologists and its influencing factors.
Methods:
Electronic questionnaires were given out to anesthesiologists through online platforms such as WeChat for information sharing among anesthesiologists. The included anesthesiologists were encouraged to distribute this platform to other anesthesiologists. Psychological survey was carried out using the Huaxi Emotional-distress Index (HEI). A total of 480 valid questionnaires were collected.
Results:
Anesthesiologists had different degrees of bad moods, 37.9% of whom had poor mental health. Ordinal logistic regression analysis suggested that there were statistically significant differences in gender, marital status, job title, position, hospital type, and the amount of overtime work per week in relation to mood (all P < 0.05). Age, nationality, number of children, number of anesthesiologists and the daily amount of anesthesia operations on average in the hospital was not significantly different in regard to mental health (all P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
The mental state of anesthesiologists is often at a poor level, and measures should be taken to improve the mental health of anesthesiologists and improve their quality of life.
