Methods: In a multicenter online survey conducted across four time points (T1-T4: 2020-2022) within the German healthcare system, HCWs with ICs were compared to those without (comparison group, CG). Psychological distress was assessed using…

The mental health of first- and second-generation migrant vs. native healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic: The Voice survey of 7,187 employees in the German healthcare sector
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the challenging working conditions of healthcare workers (HCWs) in many regions. A considerable proportion of HCWs in Germany are migrants facing additional migration-related stressors. The aim of this cross-sectional web-based survey was to examine depressive and generalized anxiety symptoms among migrant and native HCWs in Germany during the pandemic. We compared 780 migrant (first- and second-generation) HCWs …

Sick Leave and Intention to Quit the Job among Nursing Staff in German Hospitals during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Alarmingly, many nurses intend to quit working in healthcare. Perceived reward seems to buffer both sick leave and turnover intention. Enhancing protection from COVID-19 and reducing workload might also prevent sick leave. Depression prevention, improved change management and support of part-time workers could contribute to reducing turnover intention among nurses

In Germany, however, only scarce data on correlates and predictors for PTSD symptomatology in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic among healthcare workers (HCW) are available. Methods: This research i…

In order to close this gap, the present study investigates the association between test anxiety, self-efficacy and mental i…
Psychosocial Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Healthcare Workers and Initial Areas of Action for Intervention and Prevention—The egePan/Voice Study
Retrospectively, the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in stress among healthcare workers. Problem areas have different focuses with regard to different living situations, environmental conditions and professions. In order to lay the best basis for healthy and efficient work, it seems necessary to take measures especially tailored to the needs of different groups of healthcare workers
Social Support and Optimism as Protective Factors for Mental Health among 7765 Healthcare Workers in Germany during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Results of the Voice Study
Psychosocial resources such as social support and optimism appear to contribute to successful coping with the COVID-19 pandemic and should be considered in future studies
Changes in Working Conditions and Mental Health Among Intensive Care Physicians Across a Decade
Background: International studies have shown that among physicians working in intensive care, a relatively high level of work load, an elevated risk of developing burnout and reduced mental health are frequent. The implementation of a legislative intervention in Germany with the goal to reduce the working hours of physicians, offered an opportunity to investigate the potential influence of occupational conditions on stress and mental health. The …
Masculinity and Help-Seeking Among Men With Depression: A Qualitative Study
Background: Many studies indicate that men are more reluctant to seek help for mental health problems than women. Traditional ideas of masculinity are often seen as a cause of this phenomenon. However, little is known about the diversity of experiences during the processes of help-seeking and service use among men with depression who have already utilized mental health services. This study aims to explore men's experiences and attitudes toward de…
Correlations of the “Work–Family Conflict” With Occupational Stress—A Cross-Sectional Study Among University Employees
Background: The working conditions at universities and hospitals are reported to be stressful. Several national and international studies have investigated occupational stress in hospitals. However, scientific studies at colleges and universities addressing psycho-social stress factors and their potential consequences are scarce. In this context, the consequences and correlations of the factor of work-family conflict, in particular, are currently…
