The impact of informal caregiving on the mental health of health care workers during the Covid-19 pandemic—cross-sectional and longitudinal results from the Voice study
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic increased psychological distress among health care workers (HCWs). Those with informal caregiving responsibilities (ICs) may be especially vulnerable, but data remain limited. 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…
Spirituality and anxiety in pastoral care workers and physicians in the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
Our results point to the significant role of sense of coherence as a protective factor against anxiety and highlight the complexity of the relationship among spirituality, transpersonal trust, and anxiety
The mental health of first- and second-generation migrant vs. native healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic
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
Individual Stress Burden and Mental Health in Health Care Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic generated a significant burden on the German health care system, affecting the mental health of health care workers (HCW) in particular. Resilience may serve as an essential protective factor for individuals' well-being. Objective: Our objective was to identify demographic and work-related correlates of individual resilience and to investigate the association between pandemic-related stress, resilience and ment…
Effort-Reward-Imbalance, Burnout, and Depression Among Psychiatrists 2006 and 2016-Changes After a Legislative Intervention
Background: Physicians, especially psychiatrists, have a high risk of job-related stress, and mental impairment. In our study we examined changes in private and occupational stress factors and mental health within a decade. The legislative reduction of physicians' working hours in Germany during this period made it possible to investigate the impact of working hours in particular. Methods: Questionnaires were administered at two psychiatrist meet…
Correlates and Predictors of PTSD Symptoms Among Healthcare Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to ongoing challenges for healthcare systems across the world. Previous research has provided evidence for an increased prevalence of depression and anxiety as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 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…
Group-Treatment for Dealing with the Work-Family Conflict for Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals' exposure to work-family conflict negatively affects the health and well-being of the whole family and organizational outcomes. Specified workplace interventions are lacking. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of a two-day group-treatment specifically designed for the needs of healthcare professionals with family responsibilities concerning participation, satisfaction with the intervention and…
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
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 …
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…
Do Working Conditions of Patients in Psychotherapeutic Consultation in the Workplace Differ from Those in Outpatient Care? Results from an Observational Study
In previous studies, it was found that patients treated at a psychosomatic outpatient clinic (PSOC) for common mental disorders showed more severe symptoms than those who used a psychotherapeutic consultation service at the workplace (PSIW). This study examines whether the higher symptom severity of the PSOC patients in comparison to their PSIW counterparts is also related to higher levels of occupational stress as measured by the demand-control-…
