Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders in Frontline Medical Staff and Nurses Working with COVID-19 Patients
Claire PlattABSTRACT. Employing recent research results covering cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disorders in frontline medical staff and nurses working with COVID-19 patients, and building my argument by drawing on data collected from ADAA, BMA, Ginger, GWI, MHA, NCAA, NNU, Nursing Times, Pew Research Center, and Statista, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the mental health of frontline healthcare workers who are caring for COVID-19 patients. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
