Background. Postpandemic stress disorder (PPSD) is an unofficial term that refers to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental disorder resulting from increased stress, anxiety, and trauma associated with unpleasant life experiences. Many scientific studies indicate that symptoms of increased stress, job burnout, anxiety, and depressive disorders are associated with medical personnel performing their professional duties around COVID-19 patients. Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of symptoms that may indicate the presence of PPSD symptoms—depression, anxiety, and stress—in medical personnel. Material and Methods. The survey included 300 people, representatives of medical personnel. The group was divided into two sections. The first section numbered 150 and consisted of personnel in direct contact with COVID-19 patients (FR); the second group also consisted of 150 medical professionals, who but no longer directly involved in helping with COVID-19 cases (SR). The survey was conducted by indirect survey method using CAWI (computer-assisted web interview). The survey used a questionnaire technique. A proprietary tool enriched with standardized psychometric scales: BDI, GAD-7, FCV-19S, and PSS-10 was used. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann–Whitney statistical tests were used in the statistical processing of the data. The probability level was 0.05. Results. Statistical inference made it clear that mental health problems that may indicate trauma are mainly present in the FR group. These symptoms decreased slightly in comparison between periods 2020 and 2021 (). Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among first responders. To ensure the psychological well-being of first responders, early assessment and care of mild depression, anxiety, and stress should be promoted to prevent the development of moderate and severe forms.

卫生保健人员的大流行后压力障碍：横断面研究（波兰西里西亚）

背景。大流行后应激障碍 (PPSD) 是一个非官方术语，指的是创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD)，这是一种由与不愉快的生活经历相关的压力、焦虑和创伤增加引起的精神障碍。许多科学研究表明，压力增加、工作倦怠、焦虑和抑郁症的症状与医务人员在 COVID-19 患者周围履行专业职责有关。目标。本研究的目的是评估医务人员中可能表明存在 PPSD 症状（抑郁、焦虑和压力）的症状的普遍性。材料与方法. 调查对象包括医务人员代表300人。该小组分为两个部分。第一部分人数为 150 人，由与 COVID-19 患者直接接触的人员组成（法国）；第二组也由 150 名医疗专业人员组成，他们不再直接参与帮助处理 COVID-19 病例 (SR)。本次调查采用CAWI（计算机辅助网络访谈）间接调查法进行。本次调查采用问卷调查的方式。使用了富含标准化心理测量量表的专有工具：BDI、GAD-7、FCV-19S 和 PSS-10。Kruskal-Wallis 和 Mann-Whitney统计检验用于数据的统计处理。概率水平为 0.05。结果. 统计推断表明，可能表明创伤的心理健康问题主要存在于FR组。与 2020 年和 2021 年相比，这些症状略有减轻（). 结论。COVID-19 大流行显着增加了急救人员中抑郁、焦虑和压力的患病率。为确保急救人员的心理健康，应促进对轻度抑郁、焦虑和压力的早期评估和护理，以防止出现中度和重度形式。
