Psychological and Behavioral Responses to COVID-19 among Frontline Respiratory and Intensive Care Physicians and Nurses
Sofia BratuABSTRACT. I draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on psychological and behavioral responses to COVID-19 among frontline respiratory and intensive care physicians and nurses, and to explore this, I inspected, used, and replicated survey data from BMA, The Irish COVID-19 Psychological Survey, MHA, NHS, Pew Research Center, Statista, The University of New South Wales, and UGMH, performing analyses and making estimates regarding frontline healthcare workers’ well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
