We sought to better understand how nurses and physicians of differing genders may have been affected differently by the COVID-19 crisis.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> Methods<\/jats:title> Between July 17, 2020, and October 31, 2020, we surveyed nurses and physicians caring for COVID-19 patients at a large, academic, public safety net hospital in the southern United States. Survey questions were adapted from validated questionnaires used to determine quality of life, assess levels of anxiety, and determine how COVID-19 may have affected our nurses\u2019 and physicians\u2019 work, home and social lives.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> Results<\/jats:title> Overall, 120 (41.7%) providers responded, including 39 (50%) physicians and 81 (38.6%) nurses. 69.3% reported disruption to their home\/family, 76.3% to their social lives, and 29.8% worried about financial strain. More nurses than physicians worried about being excluded from social gatherings (59.7% v 35.1%, p=0.01). Similarly, 70.1% of nurses and 46.0% of physicians expressed concern of exposing others to COVID-19 (p=0.01). Nurses also expressed greater concern about being treated differently by others when compared to physicians (64.5% v 37.8%, p= 0.01). Female physicians reported greater difficulty separating their personal lives from their professional lives than male physicians and either male or female nurses (84.6%% vs 35% vs 33.3% vs 35.9%, p <0.05). Most physicians (89.7%) and nurses (93.8%) reported some level of anxiety, with 31.5% of respondents experiencing moderate or severe anxiety.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> Conclusion<\/jats:title> Healthcare workers on the frontline of COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of profession, reported increased anxiety that extended beyond the hospital into their homes and social lives. Physicians and nurses, as well as men and women, reported different sources and degrees of stress and disruption to their work, home and social lives.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.56305\/001c.57694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,31]],"date-time":"2022-12-31T01:22:04Z","timestamp":1672449724000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Inpatient Physician and Nurse Experience During the COVID-19 Crisis at a Public Safety Net Hospital"],"prefix":"10.56305","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6541-6731","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satyam","family":"Nayak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Department of Internal Medicine"]},{"name":"Parkland Health, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Division of Hospital Medicine"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ami","family":"Waters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Department of Internal Medicine"]},{"name":"Parkland Health, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Division of Hospital Medicine"]},{"name":"University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Dallas, TX USA","department":["Department of Pediatrics"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Warsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, USA"},{"name":"University of Washington School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"Hegde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Hospital Medicine"]},{"name":"Parkland Health, Dallas, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5450-5539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugene S.","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine, Dallas, TX, USA","department":["Hospital Medicine"]},{"name":"Parkland Health, Dallas, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"35509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e3","DOI":"10.17533\/udea.iee.v38n2e03","article-title":"Burnout and its influencing factors between frontline nurses and nurses from other wards during the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease -COVID-19- in Iran","volume":"38","author":"T Sarboozi Hoseinabadi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Investigaci\u00f3n y Educaci\u00f3n en Enfermer\u00eda","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/2216-0280","issn-type":"print"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1080\/21548331.2020.1832792","article-title":"Psychological wellness of internal medicine hospitalists during the COVID-19 pandemic","volume":"49","author":"Sagar B.
