There is currently a dearth of literature establishing the impact amongst intensive care workers, who may be at the greatest risk. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder amongst a cohort of intensive care workers within the United Kingdom.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A questionnaire was designed to incorporate validated screening tools for depression (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9) anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale, GAD-7), and post-traumatic stress disorder (Impact of Event Scale\u2013Revised, IES-R). All intensive care workers at the Countess of Chester Hospital (UK) were eligible.

Almost one-third (29.8% [39\/131]) reported a significant or extreme impact of COVID-19 on their mental health. In total, 16%(21\/131) had symptoms of moderate depression, 11.5%(15\/131) moderately severe depression and 6.1%(8\/131) severe depression. Females had significantly higher mean PHQ-9 scores than males (8.8 and 5.7 respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.009). Furthermore, 18.3% (24\/131) had moderate anxiety with 14.5% (19\/131) having severe anxiety. Mean GAD-7 scores were higher amongst females than males (8.7 and 6.3 respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.028). Additionally, 28.2% (37\/131) reported symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of PTSD (IES-R \u2265 33). Despite these findings, only 3.1% (4\/131) of staff accessed trust mental health support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The impact of COVID-19 on intensive care workers is significant and warrants specific focus and attention in order to preserve this key sector of the workforce.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1751143720983182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]],"date-time":"2021-01-13T17:53:24Z","timestamp":1610560404000},"page":"132-138","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Assessing the psychological impact of COVID-19 on intensive care workers: A single-centre cross-sectional  UK-based study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Natasha","family":"Dykes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Countess of Chester Hospital, Chester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3161-1053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Countess of Chester Hospital, Chester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Bamford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Countess of Chester Hospital, Chester, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1751143720983182","unstructured":"World Health Organization (WHO).
