Psychological Resilience, Burnout Syndrome, and Stress-related Psychiatric Disorders among Healthcare Professionals during the COVID-19 Crisis
Chloe SegersABSTRACT. The aim of this paper is to synthesize and analyze existing evidence on psychological resilience, professional burnout, and stress-related psychiatric disorders among healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 crisis. Using and replicating data from Bain & Company, BMA, Gallup, MedPage Today, Morning Consult, NurseFly, Pew Research Center, and Statista, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding how leaders ensure their hospitals survive the COVID-19 crisis, personal health concerns of healthcare workers during COVID-19, healthcare workers’ opinions on the health risk severity of COVID-19, healthcare workers who are concerned about being hospitalized due to COVID-19, and protection of medical professionals (the level of resources and training from hospitals battling the COVID-19 crisis). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
