Abstract :
Stress in a resident's professional life can
be triggered by the activities of a specialist doctor's
education program who is undergoing a resident without
exception anesthesiology. During the COVID-19
pandemic, the incidence of stress in anesthesiology
residents at various educational centers in Indonesia is
expected to increase as well as in Indonesia, namely at
RSUD Soetomo Surabaya. It can be seen that the higher
the level of stress experienced by a person, the higher the
level of cortisol in the individual's blood. Therefore,
these levels were compiled to analyze the relationship of
salivary cortisol with stress levels of resident participants
in anesthesiology and intensive care at Airlangga
University in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: This study is an analytical observational study
with a cross sectional design which was measured using
the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS)-42 and
its relationship with salivary cortisol levels.
Results: Through the study, it was found that the
salivary cortisol levels of resident participants
Anesthesiology and Intensive Carein Medical Faculty of
UNAIR before entering the RIK stagnation cycle versus
2 weeks of running RIK stagnation cycle with a median
value of 0.315 g/dL versus 0.422 g/dL with (95% CI,
0.143, 0.778) g/dL versus (95% CI, 0.179, 2.802) g/dL
with p < 0.05. From the results of the DASS-42
questionnaire obtained 2 subjects (5.7%) mild
depression, 1 subject (2.9%) moderate depression, 5
subjects (14.3%) mild anxiety, 1 subject (2.9%)
moderate anxiety, 1 subject (2.9%) severe anxiety, 2
subjects (5.7%) mild stress, 5 subjects (14.3%) moderate
stress, 1 subject (2.9%) severe stress.
Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that the stress
level in anesthesiology resident participants in the
COVID-19 Pandemic era was not stressful or normal
because almost 80% of the subjects did not experience
stress. There is no significant relationship between
salivary cortisol levels and stress levels.
Keywords: stress, cortisol, salivary cortisol, COVID-19
