Healthcare staff in hospitals, home care, local health departments, emergency management and other healthcare facilities are facing many COVID-19 related stressors from lack of staffing to a higher level of the number of behavioral health cases. Lack of places to discharge and lack of staffing has made it even more difficult on medical staff. Typical coping techniques have been impacted by pandemic restrictions. Healthcare staff has been a part of the mass casualty event, making coping even more difficult.
