Emotional stress among doctors and nurses at Thai Binh Medical University Hospital in 2020

Abstract

The goal of the study is to describe emotional stress among doctors and nurses at Thai Binh Medical University hospital in 2020. Descriptive research through a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 146 doctors and 74 nurses in May 2020. Research results show that 35.5% of study subjects are under emotional stress, 66.7% have stress at mild and moderate
levels, and there are more women who have mild and moderate emotional stress than men who do (70.2% versus 57.1%). Therefore, it is necessary to propose measures to relieve emotional stress among doctors and nurses, while paying more attention to stress among female health workers.
