Coronavirus disease-2019 has become a worldwide pandemic, threatening medical staff's mental health. We aimed to investigate the mental health status of staff at Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, the largest hospital specializing in infectious diseases in Wuhan. A total of 507 staff members (82.64% were female, age: mean = 37.53, SD = 10.08) in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital were recruited from March 15, 2020, to May 1, 2020. Questionnaires of the PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire), GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale), and ISI (Insomnia Severity Index) were adopted. The results showed 39.64%,19.53%, and 6.90% had mild, moderate, and moderate-severe depression, respectively. In addition, 41.03%, 10.45%, and 3.94% had mild, moderate, and moderate-severe anxiety, respectively, and 27.02% and 12.03% had mild and moderate-severe insomnia, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression models revealed that those unmarried and females were more likely to exhibit depression symptoms, while being a nurse, having a normal body mass index, and not experiencing severe acute respiratory syndrome increased the likelihood for insomnia.
