Abstract

Background: Health workers are at high risk of developing depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances due to increased stress during the COVID-19 pandemic; that matter is closely related to fatigue. The impact of psychosomatic disorders will have an immediate or indirect impact on the quality of health care services. This study aims to evaluate the psychosomatic disorder screening in health officers during the COVID-19 pandemic

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Esensia Clinic Semarang in February 2022. This study surveyed clinic health workers with completed questionnaires and had their Heart-Rate Variability (HRV) measurement. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 for Windows.

Results: About 138 subjects were recruited from Esensia Clinic, 100 subjects underwent this study until analysis. The unanxious subjects have the highest percentage accounting for 61.0%, followed by 25.0% mild anxiety, 12.0% moderate, and 2.0% severe. Furthermore, 86.0% were undepressed, followed by 13% mild and 1% moderate, but there was no severe case. Also, 65.0% did not experience fatigue and the percentage of good sleep quality (8.0%) is significantly lower than the poor (92.0%). The results also showed that 76.0% of the subjects had a balanced autonomic nervous system compared to the 24.0% of subjects with an autonomic imbalance.

Conclusion: The outcomes of psychosomatic disorders such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, and autonomic imbalance are generally poor. However, this study's prevalence of poor sleep quality was very high.
