Abstract

Objectives : In this study, we evaluate psychological stress, symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood and resilience which medical residents and interns perceived during COVID-19 event, then investigate the associations between stress and the symptoms and mediating effect of resilience on the associations. Methods : In this study, we made a self-reporting form to evaluate psychological stress with perceived stress scale (PSS), symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood with Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), and resilience with Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Medical residents and interns, who worked in a hospital during COVID-19 event, filled the self-reporting forms from july, 2020 to august, 2020. We conducted a Pearson correlation coefficient and a multiple regression to confirm association between psychological stress and symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood, then mediating effect of resilience. Results : The higher stress perceived, the more symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood were reported by medical residents and interns. The higher resilience is associated with lower stress and less symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood, which resilience is proven to mediate partially the association between stress and symptoms of depressed mood. Conclusions : This study shows that resilience has a partial mediating effects on the association between stress and psychological pathology especially depressed mood, given that medical residents and interns were under psychological distress during COVID-19 event. This suggests that resilience is the key for medical trainees to overcome the future crisis like COVID-19 event.

연구목적 본 연구는 코로나바이러스감염증-19 대유행 중 전공의 및 수련의의 스트레스와 불안 및 우울 간 상관관계를 파악하고 회복탄력성의 매개효과를 평가하고자 한다. 방 법 코로나바이러스감염증-19 대유행 기간 중 일개 대학병원에서 근무한 전공의 및 수련의를 대상으로 자가보고식 설문 조사를 통해 스트레스 인지도, 불안 및 우울, 회복탄력성 정도를 평가하였다. 이후 각 변인 간 상관관계를 평가하고 회복탄력성의 매개효과 검증절차를 시행하였다. 결 과 총 74명의 참여자에게서 스트레스 평균 18.79점, 불안 총점 평균 6.24점, 우울 총점 평균 7.81점으로 나타났고, 불안과 우울의 고위험군은 각각 28명(37.8%), 41명(55.4%)로 나타났다. 스트레스 총점이 높을수록 불안과 우울의 총점이 높게 나타났으며, 회복탄력성 총점이 높을수록 스트레스 총점, 불안 및 우울 총점 모두 낮게 나타났다. 회복탄력성의 매개효과는 스트레스와 우울 총점 간 상관관계에서만 통계적으로 유의했다. 결 론 코로나 바이러스 감염증-19 유행 기간 중 전공의 및 수련의에게서 높은 수준의 스트레스를 보였고, 이들 중 상당수가 불안 및 우울장애의 고위험군으로 확인되었다. 스트레스는 우울 및 불안을 증가시키며 이중 우울은 회복탄력성에 의해 완화될 수 있음을 보였다.
