Emotional Fatigue, Psychological Distress, and Clinically Significant Depression Associated with Being a COVID-19 Frontline Healthcare Worker
John Carey et al.ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study was to empirically examine emotional fatigue, psychological distress, and clinically significant depression associated with being a COVID-19 frontline healthcare worker. Building our argument by drawing on data collected from ACHA, BMA, Chapman University, Ginger, HMN, ICF, IPPR, Pew Research Center, UPMC, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding emotional and psychosocial distress in COVID-19 frontline medical staff. The structural equation modeling technique was used to test the research model.
