Theoretical basis
In this research, we are working on the definition of the mental health
of medical staff in National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology
during the COVID-19 pandemic is
“A state of mind characterized by emotional well-being good, behavioral
adjustment, relative freedom from anxiety and disabling symptoms, and a
capacity to establish constructive relationships and cope with the
ordinary demands and stresses of life” ( VandenBos et al., 2007)
By people whose job is to protect and improve the health of their
communities in National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE)
during the pandemic, the disease caused by a new coronavirus called
SARS-CoV-2.
Our progress on researching the reality of the mental health of
healthcare professionals in the National Institute of Hygiene and
Epidemiology through three manifestations: the ability to manage
emotions, the ability to deal with challenges and demands, and the
ability to maintain interest in the COVID-19 pandemic are based on the
theoretical foundation we have outlined above, as well as the
complicated situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also look at the
impact of four factors: sleeping quality, emotional regulation, interest
retention, and the capacity to deal with demands and obstacles.
Practical mental health
status
There are 100 persons with normal mental health status (85.5%), 16
individuals with mild mental health status (13.7%), and 1 person with
moderate mental health status (0.9%) among the 117 responses. The
results of the mental health status of healthcare workers at the
National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology were calculated and have
an average of 0,34 (±0,34); the average score is not very separated, but
the results returned have the unity we’re looking for; which falls
within the range of having normal mental health status.
To find out more, we calculated the data of 13,7% of people with mild
disorders and 0,9% of those with moderate disorders in their mental
health condition. We also discovered that their mental health average
score is 1,02, indicating that they have a minor problem.
In the next part, we evaluate the sleeping quality of the healthcare
workers in the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, there are
38 people who don’t have sleeping disorders (32,5%) and 79 people with
a sleeping disorder, which takes 67,5%.
We don’t monitor every mental health symptom; instead, we evaluate the
disorder of those manifestations based on the reality that only a minor
percentage of people suffer from mental illness. The ability to maintain
interest in work and relationships, as well as the ability to control
emotions, are both rated with the same percentages on the rating scale.
They each had 103 individuals on the normal scale, with 9 persons having
mild disorders in both skills, 4 having moderate disorders, and just 1
having severe disorders. None of the disorders were described as being
extremely severe, further more data be displayed in Table 2.
On the other hand, the ability to deal with challenges and demands
revealed a different result: 98 persons scored normal, accounting for
83.8% of the total, while 4 persons were identified as having a minor
condition. There are 12 persons on the scale of moderate disorder, which
is three times greater than the other two abilities, which each took
10,3%. Two persons are said to be suffering from serious disorders, and
1 is said to be suffering from a very severe disorder in their ability
to cope with challenges and demands.
Affect factors of the mental health
status
In the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, demographic
variables had no statistically significant influence on the mental
health of healthcare professionals. This is reflected in the comparison
outcomes, which demonstrate that there is no statistically significant
difference in mental health across participants of different genders,
ages, marital status, and frequency of exposure to different infections.
The results of the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology’s
assessment of the correlations between psychological factors: emotional
control, ability to complete challenges and demands, ability to maintain
interest in work and relationships, and sleep quality with the mental
health of medical staff are positive and high. The majority of the
capacity to manage emotions, fulfill difficulties and demands, and
retain an interest in work are all high, and the average mental health
score is also high.
When we compare the average score of mental health status among
departments, we discover that there are statistically significant
differences in mental health status across function units, service
units, and specialized units, s Specialize units are higher than
function and service units. We performed another comparison on the
factors that impact mental health status since the average scores of
mental health status between departments differed statistically
significantly. The first is the ability to manage emotions; the
specialty unit has the greatest score in this area, with a score of
6,73, followed by the service unit, which receives a score of 5,95.
The psychological elements of these 14,8 percent of persons with mental
health problems have an impact, which includes the ability to control
emotions, the ability to complete challenges and demands, and the
capacity to retain an interest in work and relationships. The first
skill shows just average connections with a mental health state, while
the next two are both strong and favorable.
