The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Effected the Mental Health of Healthcare Providers
A study conducted in part by University of Utah researchers has revealed the mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the study, over 50% of doctors, nurses, and first responders have struggled with mental health problems because of work conditions related to the outbreak. The study’s lead researcher described the healthcare environment in recent months as “akin to domestic combat” and is hopeful that an understanding of this impact will lead to services and supports for healthcare professionals.
