Understanding the Impact of COVID-19 on MD Anderson Employees
This study is looking at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental and emotional well-being of employees at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Researchers want to understand if epidemics, like COVID-19, cause stress and mental health issues for medical staff. By collecting information through questionnaires, they hope to learn how the pandemic is impacting employees. This information could help MD Anderson take better steps to support the mental health of its staff. The study is open to MD Anderson employees aged 18 and older. Success will be measured by changes in psychosocial (mental and social health) and stress-related outcomes. The current status of the study is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change in psychosocial outcomesBaseline up to 3 months after the outbreak ends
Will be assessed using the questions administered in the second part of the questionnaire, specifically, the 20 stress-related items and the Impact of Event Scale (IES). Summary statistics will be calculated for each of the individual 20 stress-related questions. The total distress score as well as the scores for the intrusion and avoidance subscales will be calculated and also summarized via descriptive statistics. Summary statistics will be calculated separately for data collected during the pandemic and at follow-up, as well as for change from pandemic to follow-up. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be calculated for the mean of the change scores.
