Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between job motivation and the mental health status of care personal of the District Hospital of Jerusalén - La Esperanza during COVID-19. The methodology used was descriptive correlational analysis with a hypothetical deductive method with a non-experimental quantitative approach and cross-sectional design. A total of 154 health care workers participated. Two types of surveys were considered; the first was for job motivation (JM) and the second for general mental health (PHQ-9) and its dimensions such as General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Insomnia Severity (ISI), and Impact of Events Reviewed (IES-R). The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between the two variables and their dimensions. In the results, we observed that most of the workers (56.5%) reflect a medium job motivation and a Mild level of depression (Rho = 0.872, p < 0.000). In addition, we observed that 41.6% of the workers reflect a medium job motivation and a mild general anxiety disorder (Rho = 0557, p < 0.000).
