Abstract

Objective: Describe the depression status of health workers in Southern Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify some associated factors. Research methodology: The study used a cross-sectional design, conducted from June 2022 to December 2022. Quantitative information was collected with the participation of 280 health workers from 01 provincial hospital in Ho Chi Minh City and 01 provincial hospital in Binh Duong province, Southern Vietnam. Depression status of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in the study was determined by the DASS Scale 21. Results: The prevalence of healthcare workers showing signs of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic was 42.1%. Our study identified factors related to depression among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic such as financial situation, living with friends, history of chronic illness and stressful events in the last year. Conclusion: Recognizing the signs of depression among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic is important for designing programs and models to mitigate the consequences for healthcare workers' mental health during the pandemic COVID-19.
