Summary/Abstract: We conducted a cohort study regarding the impact of stress on healthcare professionals in the pandemic and military context of September 2022. Study group: active medical staff (N=147) aged < 60 88% female, 81.4% urban; doctors (40%), nurses (30%) and auxiliary staff (30%). More than half of the respondents reported a high level of stress at a professional level (53%), other forms of reported stress were at social (30%), physical (27%), psychological (20%) or economic level. The general level of post-pandemic stress experienced was mostly moderate to severe (score "5- 10/10",77.6%). Correlations between economic, social, pandemic and military stress showed that all of them are positively and statistically significantly correlated (p < 0.001). Therefor, it is mandatory to prioritize the implementation of sustainable measures through medical management, as to prevent professional stress.
