About this study

Official title: Hospital Interns Psychological State During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The mental health of the French population in response to covid-19 pandemic is of concern.

Health professionals are prone to more mental disorders due to their direct exposure to the pandemic consequences. Indeed, compared to general population, health care workers face enormous in the current health situation, especially those who may be in contact with suspected or confirmed cases (risk of infection, inadequate protection, loss of control, lack of experience in managing the diseases, overwork, stigma, lack of support). Thus, it seems interesting to describe the psychological state of hospital interns during this pandemic.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Depressive Symptomatology (PHQ-9)

A score between 0 and 4 indicates absence of depression; a score between 5 and 9 indicates mild depression; a score between 10 and 14 indicates moderate depression; score between 15 and 19 indicates moderately severe depression and score between 20 and 27 indicates sever depression.

    Measured: at 5 months (6 months of internship)

  2. Depressive Symptomatology (PHQ-9)

    evaluation of the participant depressive symptomatology based on the PHQ-9 scale. The PHQ-9 total score ranges from 0 to 27. A score between 0 and 4 indicates absence of depression; a score between 5 and 9 indicates mild depression; a score between 10 and 14 indicates moderate depression; score between 15 and 19 indicates moderately severe depression and score between 20 and 27 indicates sever depression.

    Measured: at inclusion (1 month of internship)

  3. Depressive Symptomatology (PHQ-9)

    evaluation of the participant depressive symptomatology based on the PHQ-9 scale. The PHQ-9 total score ranges from 0 to 27.
