Prevalence and Factors Associated with Common Mental Disorders and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Healthcare Workers in a Reference Center for Infectious Diseases During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Survey-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT: A cross-sectional survey conducted between July and September 2020 and August and September 2021 estimated the prevalence and predictors of common mental disorders (CMDs) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among healthcare workers (HCWs) at an infectious disease referral center during the COVID-19 pandemic. CMDs were assessed using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and PTSD using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Multivariate logistic regressions identified predictors of CMD and PTSD. The study included 371 HCWs in 2020 and 167 in 2021. The CMD prevalence was 34.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 29.5-39.4) in 2020 and 30.5% (95% CI: 23.7-38.1) in 2021. The PTSD prevalence was 25.4% (95% CI: 21.0-30.2) in 2020 and 32.7% (95% CI: 25.6-40.5) in 2021. Factors increasin
