Overall, most of the workers reported increased stress, irritability, sadness, decreased motivation, and a worse quality of sleep after the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdown. Additionally, hospital workers who were more likely to use tobacco during the COVID-19 lockdown reported increased sadness (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001), loss of motivation (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 0.86, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05), alcohol consumption (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 3.12, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001), lower incomes (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.69, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05), living alone (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 1.77, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) and doing less physical activity (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic> = 0.36, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> During the first lockdown, significant psychological changes (sadness, distress, irritability) associated with changes in tobacco use and physical activity were reported. Such results should encourage hospital leaders to implement dedicated policies to better accompany hospital workers' psychological distress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.701810","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,28]],"date-time":"2021-07-28T05:54:46Z","timestamp":1627451686000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Psychological Distress and Tobacco Use Among Hospital Workers During COVID-19"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Izza","family":"Mounir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Loick","family":"Menvielle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samir","family":"Perlaza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Ch\u00eanevert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo-Hanna","family":"Planchard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roxane","family":"Fabre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Benoit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amine","family":"Benyamina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Rolland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faredj","family":"Cherikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Renaud","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.4014\/jmb.2003.03011","article-title":"Current status of epidemiology, diagnosis, therapeutics, and vaccines for novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)","volume":"30","author":"Ahn","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
