A cross-sectional questionnaire was performed between May and August 2021 involving 206 nurses and physicians working in intensive care units (ICUs) in a large urban academic hospital. The study used the Ethical Decision-Making Climate Questionnaire (EDMCQ), the Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) tool, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient to study the respondents' ethical climate, moral distress, and intention to leave their jobs between the different ICU types. The questionnaire collected answers through SurveyMonkey.
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic among 846 healthcare workers (HCWs) in central Ethiopia. From June 25, 2020, to July 25, 2020, an online survey was administered to collect self-reported data using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were cleaned, coded, and analysed using SPSS Version 23. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to identify the associated factors for mental health outcomes at a p-value of less than 0.05.
