Abstract

Title: Studying the Psychological impacts on frontline health care professionals during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The goal of this study is to determine prevalence of psychological distress in Nurses, Advanced Practice Providers, Respiratory Therapists, and Physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify if interventions and higher measures of resiliency helped to minimize the prevalence of symptoms.

A secondary crisis lies deeper behind the coronavirus disease 2019 (COIVD-19) itself. It is important to gain an understanding of the psychological impact (anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD) on clinical workers during the COVID-19 outbreak, and their ability to restore their psychological wellness, especially considering the individual use of wellness/coping interventions and resiliency levels. Resiliency is the ability to recover after experiencing an adversity or trauma and return to a state of  individual normalcy. Based on early literature derived from China, results show that the current COVID-19 pandemic has direct negative impacts on healthcare workers mental health. Commonly, nearly 30% of nurses suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during their careers.
