Abstract

The research aims to describe the challenges related to the physical health of health workers at health commune centers participating in the COVID-19 prevention in 7 key provinces and cities in 2021-2022. Study design: Cross-sectional study. The research results with 206 health commune staff show that during the first wave of the pandemic in 2021, the contact time of health workers with COVID-19 patients or suspected individuals averaged ≥12 hours/day, accounting for the highest proportion (38.0%). In 2022, the highest proportion still belongs to the group with ≥12 hours/day (41.5%). There were 44 (21.4%) individuals who did not contract/suspect COVID-19 throughout the entire participation in epidemic prevention in 2021 and 2022. The rate of health workers at the commune health centers contracting/suspecting COVID-19 was 78,6%. A significant number of health workers at the commune health centers believed they contracted/suspected COVID-19 ≥2 times (24 individuals). Most health workers at the commune health centers at the contracted COVID-19 while participating in epidemic prevention at their workplaces (133; 81.6%). The proportion of health workers contracting COVID-19 at home is 12.9%. All health workers at the commune health centers have received COVID-19 preventive vaccinations, with a very high vaccination rate of 97.6%, having received 3 doses or more.
