0334/2020 - Prevalência de ansiedade em profissionais da saúde em tempos de COVID-19: revisão sistemática com metanálise Prevalence of anxiety among health professionals in times of COVID-19: systematic review with meta-analysis
O objetivo deste estudo é identificar a prevalência de ansiedade em profissionais de saúde durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de revisão sistemática de estudos publicados em qualquer idioma em 2020. Foi realizada busca nas bases de dados Embase, LILACS e Pubmed utilizando os descritores anxiety, COVID-19, health workers, e sinônimos. A estimativa da prevalência geral de ansiedade com intervalo de confiança de 95% foi calculada utilizando o modelo de efeitos aleatórios. Dos 861 registros identificados, 36 artigos foram incluídos na revisão sistemática e 35 na metanálise. A prevalência geral de ansiedade foi de 35% (IC95%: 29-40). Foi identificado maior risco de ansiedade nas mulheres em relação aos homens (Odds Ratio: 1.64 [IC95%: 1.47-1.84]), e nos enfermeiros, na comparação com médicos (Odds Ratio: 1.19 [IC95%: 1.07-1.33]). Atuar na linha de frente no combate a COVID-19, estar infectado com coronavírus e apresentar doenças crônicas também foram fatores associados com maior risco de ansiedade. Observa-se alta prevalência de ansiedade entre profissionais de saúde, com maior risco entre mulheres e enfermeiros. Há necessidade de medidas que visem sua prevenção, bem como o fornecimento de tratamento precoce e adequado aos com ansiedade moderada e grave.

Abstract:
The study aims to identify the prevalence of anxiety among health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published in any language in 2020. Embase, LILACS, and Pubmed databases were searched using the keywords anxiety, COVID-19, health workers, and synonyms. The estimated overall prevalence of anxiety with a 95% confidence interval was calculated using the random effects model. Of the 861 records identified, 36 articles were included in the systematic review and 35 in the meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of anxiety was 35% (95% CI: 29-40). A higher risk of anxiety was identified in women compared to men (Odds Ratio: 1.64 [95% CI: 1.47-1.84]), and in nurses, when compared to doctors (Odds Ratio: 1.19 [95% CI: 1.07- 1.33]). Being on the COVID-19 front line and being infected with coronavirus and presenting chronic diseases were also factors associated with higher risk of anxiety. High prevalence of anxiety among health professionals, with higher risk among women and nurses was observed. There is a need for measures aimed at preventing and providing early and appropriate treatment for cases with moderate and severe anxiety.
