We aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19pandemic on anaesthesiology residents in a COVID-19 hub hospital in Latium andascertain their level of perceived justice and work-related stress. Residentsand specialist anaesthesiologists were recruited during April–May 2020.Informational and procedural justice were measured with the OrganizationalJustice questionnaire; work-related stress was measured with the Effort RewardImbalance questionnaire. Interns perceived a significantly lower level ofinformational justice than specialists. Organizational justice protected fromoccupational stress (OR=0.860, CI95% 0.786–0.940). Our findings suggest that itwould be useful to improve knowledge of safety measures in trainees, increasingtheir confidence in work organization and reducing stress.
