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 placed unprecedented stress on healthcare systems worldwide. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO) for studies published between January 2020 and December 2022. Studies reporting on anxiety, depression, burnout, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among healthcare workers were included.
Results: A total of 125 studies involving over 150,000 participants were included in the analysis. The pooled prevalence rates were: anxiety (34.5%), depression (31.2%), burnout (45.8%), and PTSD (22.7%). Frontline workers showed significantly higher rates compared to non-frontline staff.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound negative impact on the mental health of healthcare workers globally. Urgent interventions are needed to support their psychological well-being during and after public health crises.
