ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate the posttraumatic stress disorder risk in nurses, detecting the relationship between distress experience and personality dimensions in the Italian acute COVID-19 outbreak. The study is an observational study conducted in March 2020.
PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Mental screening was carried out in the Laboratory of Clinical Psychology on N = 36 nurses in the age range 22-64 years (M = 37.30, SD = 12.60). 76.3% were working in nursing care with confirmed COVID-19 patients; 47.4% of nurses worked in a high COVID-19 rate environment, whereas 52.6% worked in a low COVID-19 rate environment.
RESULTS: The results confirm relation between anxiety and peritraumatic dissociation and posttraumatic stress; also anxiety is positively correlated with the agreeableness variable. Our finding was obtained in an acute Italian COVID-19 outbreak and measured and quantified the psychological response of nurses in terms of anxiety as an early reaction for emotional distress and high risk for posttraumatic stress disorders; the personality dimensions did not mediate the emotional distress or the probable risk for post-traumatic stress disorder. Nurses appeared to be exposed to mental distress and needed help.
CONCLUSIONS: The results evidenced the need to carry out a mental health program for health workers (especially nursing professionals).
