O propósito deste estudo consiste em avaliar a existência de perturbação de stress póstraumático em profissionais de saúde do Serviço Nacional de Saúde que estiveram na
linha da frente no combate à pandemia de Covid-19 e identificar quais os potenciais
fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento dessa perturbação durante o combate à mesma
pandemia.
Os dados necessários à realização do estudo foram recolhidos através de um inquérito
online, divulgado via email e SMS, tendo como alvo a população que trabalhou no Serviço
Nacional de Saúde português durante a pandemia do novo coronavírus, nomeadamente,
durante os períodos mais críticos, e que estiveram em contacto direta e/ou indiretamente
com doentes infetados pelo mesmo vírus. Foram recolhidos 202 inquéritos válidos,
19,80% (n = 40) dos quais eram homens e 80,20% (n = 162) eram mulheres. Os dados
obtidos foram posteriormente submetidos a uma análise descritiva e analítica.
Determinou-se através de uma escala de Likert o diagnóstico da perturbação de stress
pós-traumático, com base no cut-off de 36 pontos e ao mínimo de respostas sintomáticas
em cada grupo, obtendo-se um total de 54 (27,6%) profissionais de saúde com este
diagnóstico. Foram identificados preditores do diagnóstico da perturbação de stress póstraumático, nomeadamente o facto de ser do sexo feminino (?2 = 5,158; p = 0,027), ter
testemunhado o internamento de doentes infetados com Covid-19 (?2 = 4,745; p =
0,039), ter tido amigos e/ou familiares infetados com SARS CoV2 (?2 = 5,730; p =
0,019), ter iniciado o consumo substâncias ilícitas (?2 = 5,220; p = 0,035), ter
consultado um psicólogo e/ou psiquiatra (?2 = 18,354; p < 0,001) e ter recorrido a
medicamentos para tentar ultrapassar as fases mais críticas da pandemia (?2 = 35,407;
p < 0,001).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the existence of post-traumatic stress disorder in healthcare professionals from portuguese national health service who were at the front-line in the fight against Covid-19 pandemic and identify the potential risk factors for the development of this disorder during the fight against the same pandemic. The data used in this study was collected through a survey, shared by email and SMS, targeting the working population in the portuguese national health service during the new coronavirus pandemic, namely, during the most critical periods and who were in direct and/or indirect contact with patients infected with the same virus. A total of 202 valid surveys were collected; 19,80% (n = 40) of which belonged to men and 80,20% (n = 162) belonged to women. The data obtained was submitted to a descriptive and analytical analysis. The post-traumatic stress disorder diagnostic was set by a Likert scale, based on the cutoff of 36 points and the minimum of symptomatic responses in each group, obtaining a total of 54 (27,60%) healthcare professionals with this diagnostic. Predictive factors of diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder were identified, namely being female (?2 = 5,158; p = 0,027), having witnessed the hospitalization of patients infected with Covid-19 (?2 = 4,745; p = 0,039), having had friends and/or family member infected with SARS CoV2 (?2 = 5,730; p = 0,019), having started using illicit substances (?2 = 5,220; p = 0,035), having consulted a psychologist and/or psychiatrist (?2 = 18,354; p < 0,001) and having resorted to medication to try to overcome the most critical phases of the pandemic (?2 = 35,407; p < 0,001).
