Abstract
Background: Mental health is fundamental to the well-being and effective functioning of individuals. Recent studies have documented an increasing trend of mental disorders over time, especially among healthcare workers. Oncology medical staff must often work in heavy, toxic, and dangerous work environments and surgery time is long and. Therefore, we conducted a mental health survey for oncology medical staff at Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of stress, depression, anxiety and related factors in medical staff at Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study on 258 medical staff at Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital from December 2021 to April 2022 using DASS-21 sacle. Results: The prevalence of stress was 26.35% (95% CI = 18.27% - 36.27%), anxiety was 43.41% (95% CI = 33.64% - 53.68 %), and depression was 36.43% (95% CI = 27.2% - 46.7%). Sleep time, average income, exposure to death, and assessment of work performance in hospitals and clinical units, patient's willingness to work and cooperation were found to be significant factors associated with stress, anxiety and depression in medical staff. Conclusions: The prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among medical staff at the Oncology Hospital is fairly high, requiring intervention strategies to improve the mental health of medical staff.
