Survey of Fatigue, PTSD, and Fear of COVID-19 Among Mental Health Professionals in China

Wei Zhang's dataset contains survey results from 9,858 COVID-recovered mental health professionals in China, collected from January to February 2023. It includes assessments of fatigue, PTSD, and fear of COVID-19 using standardized scales. The data was analyzed to explore nonlinear relationships between these psychological factors.

Use Cases

• Analyzing nonlinear associations between fatigue and PTSD symptoms based on survey scores.
• Modeling the relationship between fatigue and fear of COVID-19 severity using logistic regression.
• Identifying inflection points in psychological symptom relationships based on restricted cubic splines analysis.
• Estimating prevalence rates of PTSD and fear of COVID-19 among a specific professional cohort.
• Investigating cross-sectional correlations between psychological measures during a public health crisis.

Strengths

• Survey includes 9,858 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Data collection occurred over a defined period from January to February 2023.
• Assessments used standardized scales: Fatigue VAS, PCL-C, and FCV-19S.
• Results include specific prevalence rates (e.g., 6.85% for PTSD) and odds ratios (e.g., OR = 1.75).

Limitations

• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The cross-sectional design limits causal inference, as noted in the description.
