ABSTRACT. This article presents an empirical study carried out to evaluate and analyze prolonged stress, anxiety, and depression in frontline medical staff working with COVID-19 patients. Building our argument by drawing on data collected from ACHA, BMA, Harvard Medical School, HMN, PHW, Rek et al. (2020), Rethink Mental Illness, UGMH, and UNC School of Medicine, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding overwhelming work conditions and unique stress levels experienced by COVID-19 medical staff. Data collected from 3,900 respondents are tested against the research model by using structural equation modeling.
