Problems Facing Healthcare Providers When Caring for COVID-19 Patients: An Integrative Review

20 Jul 2022

This study indicates that frontline healthcare providers experience psychological problems when caring for COVID-19 patients. Many HCPs faced psychological distress and working stress that impacted their physical and mental health and social life. These include fatigue, occupational burnout, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems impacting work productivity and efficiency. Therefore, it is important to assess and minimize the psychological burden on the frontline healthcare providers against COVID-19. This is needed to protect the psychosocial well-being of healthcare providers, including accepting that anxiety and stress are normal during this pandemic. The psychological problems and mental health challenges warrant more attention and support from policymakers, families, and the community. Therefore, future organizational and national strategies and interventions should improve frontline HCPs’ mental health and well-being during the pandemic. This would be achieved by building self-efficacy and resilience, providing adequate social support and PPE facilities, and ensuring that HCPs work voluntarily.
