Demoralization, Fear, and Burnout Associated with Being a COVID-19 Frontline Healthcare Worker
Margaret Allen, Juraj CugABSTRACT. Employing recent research results covering demoralization, fear, and burnout associated with being a COVID-19 frontline healthcare worker, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from BMA, CPHA, Elon University, IPPR, Nursing Times, Potloc, Statista, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding how COVID-19 has impacted the health and wellbeing of health- care workers and public attitudes on greater government support for health and care workers during COVID-19. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data.
