Hebrew U study examines mental health impact on hospital staff during pandemic
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA study by Hebrew University finds that working in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on workers’ mental health, even for ancillary or technical staff.
The research examined staff at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center between Israel’s first and second waves of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, and found that 59% reported an increase in stress levels — during a period of a relative lull in the spread of the disease.
The research team say the findings show the need for mental health support for all hospital workers as part of the pandemic response.
