A global review of studies has found high levels of depression, PTSD, anxiety and burn-out amongst frontline medical staff during the Covid pandemic. This suggests that more support needs to be put in place for hospital workers dealing with the pandemic. The study looked at 25 systematic reviews conducted during the early months of the pandemic. Many of these studies were of hospital workers in China. The panel confirmed review findings on the importance of support from colleagues, clear communication in the workplace, and the need for resources and support for a shift to working from home for community workers. Estimates varied from 12 per cent for anxiety in one review of healthcare workers in the hospital, to 51 per cent for depression and PTSD in another review.
