Teamspezifische Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie auf Mitarbeiter:innen der Internistischen Intensivmedizin eines Krankenhauses der Maximalversorgung

The ongoing strain on personnel in the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic is considerable and poses major emotional and psychological challenges for the personnel. In a team evaluation (physicians and nurses), team-specific stress, possible relief strategies, positive and negative experiences, and wishes for improvement of the situation in an intensive care unit were collected. While both occupational groups perceived equally high emotional stress intensities, nursing additionally perceived high stress intensities in the organizational and physical areas. Thus, the occupational group of nurses proves to be the most stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings presented here can be used to derive instructions for future actions.
