Brief Summary
The objective of this prospective cohort study is to explore the association between the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in surgeons and anesthesiologists and postoperative prognosis in surgical patients they care for during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are 2 cohorts included in this study. The first cohort consists of registered surgeons and anesthesiologists in the study center. The development of PTSD will be evaluated with a series of questionnaires and scales. This cohort defines exposure (with PTSD). The second cohort consists of surgical patients managed by the surgeons and anesthesiologists in the first cohort. The postoperative outcome of these patients will be evaluated thus to explore the association between PTSD in physicians and adverse patient outcomes. The second cohort defines the outcomes( response).

Study Arms (2)
Exposure: With PTSD
Surgeons or anesthesiologists with PTSD
Comparator: Without PTSD
Surgeons or anesthesiologists without PTSD
Interventions
Series scales, including GHQ-12, PCL-6, and CAPS-5 will be used to screen and diagnose the development of PTSD in surgeons and anesthesiologists at 3 time points, baseline (time 0), 3 m, and 6 m.
Eligibility Criteria
There are 2 cohorts included in this study. The first cohort consists of registered surgeons and anesthesiologists in the study center. The development of PTSD will be evaluated with a series of questionnaires and scales. This cohort defines exposure (with PTSD). The second cohort consists of surgical patients cared by the surgeons and anesthesiologists in the first cohort. The postoperative outcome of these patients will be evaluate thus to explore the association of PTSD in physicians and adverse patient outcomes. The second cohort defines the outcome( response).
