A multiple linear regression model exploring the association of covariates with mental well-being mean scores since the onset of the pandemic. Model adjusted for gender, ethnicity, income, marital status, religion, income, age, and postgraduate experience.
Linear customized scale where 1=extremely poor mental well-being and 10=excellent mental well-being.
Gender: male vs female.
Ethnicity: white (reference category) vs non-white.
Income: $>150 000 (reference category) vs $<50 000.
Marital status: married/cohabiting (reference category) vs single/divorced.
Religion: Muslim/Christian/Jewish/Hindu/Buddhist (reference category) vs none.
Age: age in years (continuous variable).
Healthcare sector: trainees working in both government and private healthcare settings vs private only (reference category).
Healthcare sector: trainees working in government only healthcare settings vs private only (reference category).
Postgraduate experience: number of years (continuous variable).
Total years of fellowship: number of years (continuous variable).
HDI: very high/high (reference category) vs medium.
National training program: yes (reference category) vs no.
Shielding: yes (reference category) vs no.
Additional training time: definitely/probably/don't know (reference category) vs probably not/definitely not.
Overall increase in clinical workload: yes (reference category) vs no.
PPE access: yes all the time/yes some of the time (reference category) vs no most of the time/not at all.
COVID-19 sickness: yes (reference category) vs no.
Redeployment: yes (reference category) vs no.
Adequate pastoral support: yes all the time/yes some of the time (reference category) vs no most of the time/not at all.
