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 an unprecedented burden on healthcare workers 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 systematic search of 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) among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic were included.
Results: A total of 125 studies involving 150,000 healthcare workers were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence rates were as follows: anxiety (34.5%), depression (31.2%), stress (45.6%), burnout (38.9%), and PTSD (22.3%). Frontline healthcare workers had significantly higher rates of all mental health outcomes compared to non-frontline workers.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound negative impact on the mental health of healthcare workers. Urgent interventions are needed to support their psychological well-being.
