Overview of factors affecting the psychoemotional status of medical workers in the context of COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the main blow fell on medical institutions and medical workers working in them. Medical institutions (Healthcare facilities) are being rapidly restructured, and industry specialists are working in conditions that practically correspond to emergency situations. The manuscript examines the results of a study of the psychoemotional state of medical workers during the covid-19 pandemic and analyzes the socio-demographic, professional, organizational, psychological and psychosocial factors affecting their psychoemotional health. In general, the high intensity of symptoms of psychoemotional stress in medical workers working in conditions of a serious epidemic was more often observed in women compared to men, and in nurses compared to other categories of medical workers. It is noteworthy that there are few studies to assess the psychoemotional state of junior medical workers. Keywords: covid-19 pandemic, health workers, psychoemotional health, emotional stress
