N2  - BACKGROUND: Healthcare workers are a key occupational group at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB). We investigated the prevalence and correlates of STB  among hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak  (March-July 2020). <br><br>METHODS: Data come from the baseline assessment of a cohort of  Spanish hospital workers (n = 5450), recruited from 10 hospitals just after the  height of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak (May 5-July 23, 2020). Web-based self-report surveys assessed 30-day STB, individual characteristics, and  potentially modifiable contextual factors related to hospital workers' work and  financial situation. <br><br>RESULTS: Thirty-day STB prevalence was estimated at 8.4% (4.9%  passive ideation only, 3.5% active ideation with or without a plan or attempt). A  total of n = 6 professionals attempted suicide in the past 30 days. In adjusted  models, 30-day STB remained significantly associated with pre-pandemic lifetime mood  (odds ratio [OR] = 2.92) and anxiety disorder (OR = 1.90). Significant modifiable  factors included a perceived lack of coordination, communication, personnel, or  supervision at work (population-attributable risk proportion [PARP] = 50.5%), and  financial stress (PARP = 44.1%). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Thirty-day STB among  hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak was high. Hospital preparedness for virus outbreaks should be increased, and strong  governmental policy response is needed to increase financial security among hospital  workers.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
