Abstract
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread exponentially across the globe, the severity of its impact on the mental health of healthcare providers (HCPs) begins to unfold. In this review, we investigate the prevalence of psychological distress and factors leading to mental health morbidity among frontline and healthcare providers, and we explore measures taken to provide psychological support to HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic and to mitigate a response for future outbreaks.
