ABSTRACT. Based on an in-depth survey of the literature, the purpose of the paper is to explore whether the COVID-19 outbreak is severely affecting the psychological well-being of frontline respiratory and intensive care physicians and nurses. Using and replicating data from BMA, CPHA, Gallup, ICF, IPPR, LendingTree, Morning Consult, Nursing Times, Potloc, ValuePenguin, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding the level of stress the frontline medical staff are experiencing now compared with before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
