Mental health of healthcare providers needs support: preparing for the post-COVID-19 era
Open accessAbstract
Background: Aside from all the morbidities and mortalities associated with COVID-19, mental problems are becoming more prominent. Medical staff, who have maintained the first line against the viral catastrophe throughout the pandemic, are not invulnerable. Aim: To highlight mental health problems among health care providers. Results: Recent studies have reported elevated rates of mental health problems among health care providers. Generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, serial suicidal attempts and migration are some of the negative consequences reported in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Conclusions: Supportive measures like reducing working hours to a reasonable level, recruiting well-trained therapists to counsel medical personnel, giving occasional breaks, and reducing the rate of health-centre visits are highly recommended.

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.
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.
