Impact of viral epidemic outbreaks on mental health of healthcare workers: a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Background This study aimed at examining the impact of providing healthcare during health emergencies caused by viral epidemic outbreaks on healthcare workers' (HCWs) mental health; to identify factors associated with worse impact, and; to assess the available evidence base regarding interventions to reduce such impact.Method Rapid systematic review. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycINFO (inception to August 2020). We pooled data using random-effects meta-analyses to estimate the prevalence of specific mental health problems, and used GRADE to ascertain the certainty of evidence.Results We included 117 studies. The pooled prevalence was higher for acute stress disorder (40% (95%CI 39 to 41%)), followed by anxiety (30%, (30 to 31%)), burnout (28% (26 to 31%)), depression (24% (24 to 25%)), and post-traumatic stress disorder (13% (13 to 14%)). We identified factors associated with the likelihood of developing those problems, including sociodemographic (younger age and female gender), social (lack of social support, stigmatization), and occupational (working in a high-risk environment, specific occupational roles, and lower levels of specialised training and job experience) factors. Four studies reported interventions for frontline HCW: two educational interventions increased confidence in pandemic self-efficacy and in interpersonal problems solving (very low certainty), whereas one multifaceted intervention improved anxiety, depression, and sleep quality (very low certainty).Limitations We only searched three databases, and the initial screening was undertaken by a single reviewer.Conclusion Given the very limited evidence regarding the impact of interventions to tackle mental health problems in HCWs, the risk factors identified represent important targets for future interventions.

The mental health conditions measured by different instruments across the included studies are sufficiently comparable to be combined in meta-analyses.
“We used the STATA command “metaprop” (Nyaga et al., 2014) to pool estimates of proportions with corresponding 95% confidence intervals.”
“84% did use validated instruments to evaluate mental health.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The classification of studies as during versus after the outbreak, based on each study's own definition, is valid for subgroup comparisons.
“timing of data collection (i.e., before, during, or after the outbreak – based on the studies´ own definition)”
Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.

“In Spain, data revealed a high percentage of healthcare professionals experiencing symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep disorders. The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress was higher than that reported in previous studies on COVID-19 [19,22].”

“At the primary care level, morbidity and mortality have a significant impact. Illnesses, absenteeism, shift changes, and excessive workloads directly affect the emotional state and mental health of professionals, with healthcare workers being the most affected [22].”

“From the perspective of grief and trauma theory, it is crucial to recognize that the effects of a stressor or trauma vary not only according to its intensity, duration, and characteristics but also according to the psychosocial context in which it occurs. Moreover, these effects are influenced by gender and psychological characteristics of the individual or group affected by trauma or stress.”

“Consistently with the results of many studies on the psychological impact of past pandemics on health professionals [14,15,16], the literature published until now about COVID-19 revealed that HCWs are at particular risk of adverse psychological outcomes, i.e., of developing more severe mental symptoms, including stress, anxiety, depression, distress, insomnia, emotional exhaustion, burnout, as wel”

“Very few studies have highlighted effective interventions that can improve the mental health of health care workers during infectious disease epidemics such as SARS, Ebola, and Middle East respiratory syndrome [3].”
Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Prose confuses study counts with percentages
MinorThe prose gives 62%, 54%, 33%, and 31% for the four conditions, but Table 1 lists those numbers as study counts. The table gives the corresponding percentages as 53%, 46%, 28%, and 26%.
“Anxiety (62%) and depression (54%) were the mental health conditions most frequently examined, followed by acute stress disorder (33%) and PTSD (31%).”
“| Anxiety | 62 | 53 | | Depression | 54 | 46 | | Acute stress disorder | 33 | 28 | | Post-traumatic stress disorder | 31 | 26 |”
Primary-care setting percentage is too high
MinorTable 1 lists 3 primary-care studies among 117 studies, which is about 2.56%, not 5%.
Reported 5 · recomputed 2.564103
“| Primary Care centre | 3 | 5 |”
Before-after studies are classified inconsistently
MinorThe intervention results say none of the four studies used an experimental design, whereas the methods explicitly classify non-controlled before-after studies as experimental. The results describe included interventions using that design.
“None of them used an experimental design.”
“experimental studies (non-controlled before-after studies, controlled before-after studies, non-randomised controlled trials, and randomised controlled trials).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
