Objectives: This study investigated working environment factors associated with healthcare workers’ job stress in a public medical hospital during COVID-19.
Methods: We surveyed healthcare workers in a public medical center in September of 2020. Multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to find significant factors associated with increased job stress of healthcare workers.
Results: Increased musculoskeletal pain, difficulties in intra-departmental communication, difficulties in co-work with other departments, and insufficient personal protective equipment significantly was associated with increased job stress while coping with COVID-19. When musculoskeletal pain increased, having difficulties in co-work with other departments was associated with increased job stress.
Conclusions: Increased job stress was associated with increased musculoskeletal pain, difficulties in intra-departmental communication, difficulties in co-work with other departments, and insufficient personal protective equipment.
