Abstract
Background and Aim: The coronavirus pandemic has led to the spread of mental and psychological problems, especially in health workers. The present study aimed to determine resilience, perceived stress and related factors in clinical nurses and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in the context of the covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, 163 clinical nurses and 118 EMTs of shahrood University of Medical Sciences participated in 1400. Data collection tools included the demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Connor - Davidson resilience scale, and Cohen's perceived stress questionnaire. Descriptive and analytical statistics (Pearson correlation analysis and logistic regression and independent t-test) were used for data analysis.
Results: The average age of EMTs was 33/89±6/44 years and clinical nurses was 33/0±8/70 years. There was no meaningful difference between the average resilience scores (P = 0.69) between the two nurse groups and EMTs, but there was a meaningful difference between the average perceived stress scores (P = 0.001). There was a positive and meaningful correlation between the total perceived stress score and age and work history, but there was no meaningful correlation between the staff's monthly working hours and their perceived stress score in both pre-hospital nurses and emergency technicians groups.
Conclusion: Due to the significant impact of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health and the quality of work of nurses and emergency technicians in pre-hospital, it is necessary to plan and apply the necessary solutions to reduce stress and improve employee resilience.
