Abstract Details

2022, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Wittenberg University, Nursing.
The novel coronavirus 19 was first recorded in Wuhan China, and spread rapidly through the world. Soon, citizens throughout the United States had to learn how to adapt to a new way of living, and many healthcare workers felt the impact of the pandemic more severely, facing even more extreme stressors than the general public. Because of this, healthcare workers had an increased likelihood to experience greater levels of anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, moral injury, and/or other negative mental health effects. Through various programs that promote healthy coping mechanisms, develop resiliency factors, and improve overall mental and physical health, some hospitals have seen improvement in the impact of COVID-19 on their workers. The hope of this review of literature is to encourage the implementation of these actions at various hospitals to address the invisible pandemic of mental illness that these workers now face.
