Abstract
Background: The Covid-19 disease was the most significant pandemic of the century. Health care providers showed great sacrifices in managing this disease and saving humanity, and they suffered many injuries. So, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Covid-19 on the resident’s quality of life and comparison with medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 223 Residents and 225 medical students. Using a random sampling method, WHOQOL-BREF 26 questionnaire was distributed among the participants. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS 21 software using T-test and ANCOVA. Results: The results showed that covid-19 had caused a decrease in the quality of life of residents compared to medical students (P value 0.001). In addition, more advanced statistical analyzes showed that high work and study hours, irregular sleep, work history in COVID-19 wards, and the experience of CPR and intubation conditions of covid-19 patients have independent effects on the quality of life. Conclusion: Covid-19 hurt all aspects of the quality of life of residents. Considering the essential role of residents in educational and treatment hospitals, it is necessary to make plans to improve the quality of life and psychological support of these people to prevent the decline in the quality of healthcare services.
