Abstract

Objective: To describe the status and relationship between quality of work-related life and anxiety
disorder among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 922 staff members working
at Saint Paul General Hospital agreed to participate. The GAD-7 scale measured anxiety disorder.
Quality of work-related life as measured by the ProQoL Health scale.
Results: Among the 922 health workers included in the study, 358 individuals (38.8%) were found
to have anxiety disorders ranging from mild to severe. Mild anxiety accounted for the majority at
30.2%. The mean scores for healthcare workers in various aspects of quality control were as follows:
CS (20.6 ± 3.5), PS (20.4 ± 3.4), BO (17.6 ± 3.5), STS (16.6 ± 3.2), and MD (16.2 ± 3.4). The
majority of health workers at Saint Paul General Hospital obtained average scores across all quality
control aspects: CS (76.5%), PS (79%), BO (87%), STS (87.7%), and MD (84.6%). Lower scores
in CS and PS aspects of the CLCS (Control, Leadership, Culture, and Support) assessment were
associated with higher rates of anxiety disorders. Conversely, higher scores in the BO, STS, and MD
aspects of the CLCS assessment were linked to lower rates of anxiety disorders.
Conclusions: Health workers’ quality of work-related life is moderate and anxiety disorder was
high. The positive aspects of lower quality of life and the more negative aspects were associated with
a statistically significant higher prevalence of anxiety disorders.
