ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of sustained psychological distress, acute depression, and emotional exhaustion in frontline medical staff and nurses working with COVID-19 patients, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from Active Minds, BMA, Bozdag and Ergün (2020), KFF, GMU/CCCC, MedPage Today, Nursing Times, Pew Research Center, PHW, Statista, and YPCCC, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding COVID-19 pandemic-related consequences on the emotional wellbeing of frontline healthcare workers. The results of a study based on data collected from 3,900 respondents provide support for our research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
