Exploring the Mental Health Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Healthcare Workers

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound psychological impact on healthcare workers (HCWs), children, and adolescents, leading to increased levels of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and burnout (Chigwedere et al., 2021; Miranda et al., 2020; Braquehais et al., 2020). HCWs faced overwhelming workloads, inadequate protective equipment, and high exposure to infection risks, while children and adolescents experienced developmental disruptions due to social isolation and school closures. These mental health challenges affect healthcare system resilience, workforce sustainability, and long-term societal well-being. This systematic review synthesized peer-reviewed studies from ScienceDirect and Google Scholar and identified key themes including systemic stressors, social isolation, and the necessity of long-term mental health interventions. Findings highlight the importance of integrating mental health support into crisis management and policy frameworks. Future research can include quantitative longitudinal studies measuring mental health recovery trends among HCWs and qualitative phenomenological studies exploring lived experiences of pandemic-related psychological distress. Addressing these challenges through systemic reform and policy development is essential for fostering resilience in healthcare and society.
