Abstract

Objective: To analyze the depression status of pediatric standardized training residents in COVID-19.

Methods: The depression status of pediatric residents undergoing standardized training at the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University was investigated using the Self-rated Depression Scale (SDS). Statistical analysis was conducted using R version 3.5.3.

Results: The prevalence of depression was found to be 66.6%. However, no significant statistical associations were observed between depression and various demographic factors, including gender, age, emotional status, educational background, possession of a professional doctor certificate, and monthly income.

Conclusions: The incidence of depressive symptoms amongst pediatric residents undergoing standardized training during the COVID-19 pandemic is substantial, placing them at an elevated risk for depression.
