The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on resident physicians: A cross-sectional study
Background: COVID-19 presents a threat to the mental health of the medical staff working with COVID-19 patients. Objective: To investigate the impact of working during the COVID-19 pandemic on resident physicians. Methods: The study was conducted via anonymous online survey and included resident physicians. The survey contained questions about sociodemographic information, general job satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their personal lives. Results: This study included a response from 728 resident physicians. The majority of residents rated that the COVID-19 pandemic had a mostly negative impact on their satisfaction with professional life (59.9%) and quality of work (62.8%), their personal lives (44.7%) and quality of life (57.1%). Half of all residents indicated that they did not have enough personal protective equipment (PPE). About one-third of residents indicated that the level of stress at work during the COVID-19 pandemic was higher. Conclusions: Working as resident physicians during COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on participants' professional and personal lives. Residents did not have all the necessary PPE nor felt safe working with patients with suspected or proven COVID-19. Further action is needed to provide support for physician residents working during the COVID-19 pandemic.
