Why is it important?
The important challenge is how to support the mental health of healthcare workers in the current crisis due to the increased psychological burden of COVID-19. The aim is to address the issues and problems faced by researchers, policymakers, and educators, when formulating best evidence and practice recommendations; to collate the best available evidence and recommendations for future practice for supporting healthcare workers.
Perspectives
Healthcare workers at the frontline may be more susceptible to psychological stressors such as scant resources, protecting themselves as well as their patients, whilst balancing this with maintaining the health and well-being of family and friends.
