ABSTRACT. This article presents an empirical study carried out to evaluate and analyze psychological stress of COVID-19 frontline healthcare workers. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from BMA, GWI, Nursing Times, and Strada Education Network, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding healthcare workers who say they have experienced an increase in the psychological stress since the beginning of the outbreak. Data collected from 780 respondents are tested against the research model by using structural equation modeling.
