El 29.46% fue vinculado a una atención en salud mental posterior al tamizaje. Discusión y conclusión: El estudio identificó y caracterizó a un grupo representativo de la unidad de emergencia presentó síntomas de estrés post traumático durante la pandemia SARS-CoV-2. Una red de apoyo psicológico permanente podría ser una intervención efectiva de promoción en salud mental

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Emergency medical personnel are extremely exposed to stressful situations. Post-traumatic stress disorder is an emerging pathology in health personnel in recent years and is only recognized as a mental illness of an occupational nature. Objective: To establish the prevalence and symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder obtained from the screening with the checklist of post-traumatic stress disorder for DSM-5 applied to health personnel from the emergency unit of a tertiary hospital during the SARS-CoV-pandemic. 2. Material and Method: Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional, single-center study in the (5) professional and non-professional levels, between the period April 2021 to December 2022. Results: 241 officials participated (69.45% of this emergency unit). Where, 19.9% presented symptoms of post-traumatic stress, broken down into 36.0% service assistant, 26.7% kinesiology, 26.1% higher level nursing technician, 13.3% nursing and 9.8% doctors. The greatest symptomatology corresponded to intrusive memories, intense psychological discomfort, reckless-self-destructive behavior and hypervigilance. Likewise, the higher the job seniority and the auxiliary levels, kinesiology increase the probability of a high score in the screening (risk variables), while at an older age it decreases (protective variable). 29.46% were linked to mental health care after the screening. Discussion: The study identified and characterized a representative group from the emergency unit who presented post-traumatic stress symptoms during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. A permanent psychological support network could be an effective promotion intervention in mental health.

          The REDCap consortium: Building an international community of software platform partners

          The Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) data management platform was developed in 2004 to address an institutional need at Vanderbilt University, then shared with a limited number of adopting sites beginning in 2006. Given bi-directional benefit in early sharing experiments, we created a broader consortium sharing and support model for any academic, non-profit, or government partner wishing to adopt the software. Our sharing framework and consortium-based support model have evolved over time along with the size of the consortium (currently more than 3200 REDCap partners across 128 countries). While the "REDCap Consortium" model represents only one example of how to build and disseminate a software platform, lessons learned from our approach may assist other research institutions seeking to build and disseminate innovative technologies.

            Factors Associated With Mental Health Outcomes Among Health Care Workers Exposed to Coronavirus Disease 2019

            Key Points Question What factors are associated with mental health outcomes among health care workers in China who are treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 1257 health care workers in 34 hospitals equipped with fever clinics or wards for patients with COVID-19 in multiple regions of China, a considerable proportion of health care workers reported experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress, especially women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers directly engaged in diagnosing, treating, or providing nursing care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Meaning These findings suggest that, among Chinese health care workers exposed to COVID-19, women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers have a high risk of developing unfavorable mental health outcomes and may need psychological support or interventions.

              IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS SYNDROMES ON PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

              Highlights • This systematic review and meta-analysis has identified the top 10 physical and mental health outcomes in health care workers infected or exposed to coronavirus syndromes (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome -SARS-, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome -MERS-, Novel coronavirus -COVID-19-). • The physical and mental health burden associated with SARS/MERS/COVID-19 in health care workers is high. • These findings could inform public health strategies to detect the most frequent physical and mental health outcomes in health care workers, monitor their course and implement preventive/treatment measures to mitigate their effect in this vulnerable population
