The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Healthcare Workers
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of healthcare workers worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize the current evidence on the prevalence and risk factors of mental health issues among healthcare workers during the pandemic.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) from January 2020 to December 2022. Studies reporting on the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in healthcare workers were included. Random-effects models were used to pool prevalence estimates.
Results: A total of 125 studies involving over 150,000 healthcare workers were included. The pooled prevalence rates were as follows: anxiety (34.4%), depression (31.8%), stress (45.0%), burnout (54.5%), and PTSD (22.1%). Female gender, younger age, frontline work, and lack of social support were identified as significant risk factors.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a high burden of mental health problems among healthcare workers. Urgent interventions are needed to support their psychological well-being, including access to mental health services, peer support programs, and organizational changes to reduce workload and improve working conditions.
