Prolonged exposure to stressful situations at work is considered to affect the physical, psychological, and emotional health of these workers, as well as job performance. The objective of this study was to analyze the beliefs, attitudes, and feelings of health personnel from one Spanish region towards their work after five waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. A Cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out using an electronic questionnaire, adapted, and validated through the Delphi technique. A convenience sampling of 783 was recruited among health personnel from the Canary Islands during the fifth wave of the pandemic in September 2021. Bivariate analyzes have been performed by the Chi-square test accepting statistical significance (p 0.050). The 94.3% (n=738) of the respondents considered the pandemic to have highlighted the shortcomings of the Spanish health system. A clear level of exhaustion and\/or a reduction in the level of commitment can be observed in these workers as the pandemic continues, as participants reported feeling both mentally and physically exhausted when finishing their shifts, and even \u201cburned out by their work\u201d. This study highlights the resilience and vocation of healthcare professionals, who even considering the effects of the pandemic would choose the same profession. On the other hand, these professionals felt undervalued by their institutions, and almost one of every five, precised psychological support in some point during the health crisis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00368504221102798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]],"date-time":"2022-05-23T02:25:38Z","timestamp":1653272738000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Feelings of the health personnel in Spain, towards their work, after five waves of the COVID-19 pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"105","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6767-7532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Borja N","family":"Santana L\u00f3pez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitario de Gran Canaria Doctor Negr\u00edn, Las Palmas, Espa\u00f1a"},{"name":"Universitat Jaume I, Castell\u00f3, Espa\u00f1a"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2330-1933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeray G","family":"Santana Padilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno-Infantil de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Espa\u00f1a"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6616-6925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00aa Desamparados","family":"Bernat Adell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universitat Jaume I, Castell\u00f3, Espa\u00f1a"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas Mar\u00eda","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez Mart\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno-Infantil de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Espa\u00f1a"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8310-1197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciano","family":"Santana Cabrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno-Infantil de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Espa\u00f1a"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enfcli.2020.05.021"},{"key":"bibr2-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep11030051"},{"key":"bibr3-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.13260"},{"key":"bibr4-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.iccn.2020.102966"},{"key":"bibr5-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464820964153"},{"key":"bibr6-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jme.2009.032821"},{"key":"bibr7-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-6-311"},{"key":"bibr8-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-6-99"},{"key":"bibr9-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17843\/rpmesp.2019.363.4371"},{"key":"bibr10-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00368504211003775"},{"key":"bibr11-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1677-5538.IBJU.2020.S124"},{"key":"bibr12-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2021.110986"},{"key":"bibr13-00368504221102798","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.encep.2020.04.008"},{"key":"bibr14-00368504221102798","unstructured":"Servicio Canario de la Salud (SCS).
