“…El personal sanitario es quizás el colectivo profesional que más está sufriendo las consecuencias del COVID-19, pues en España el número oficial de sanitarios infectados está en torno al 15% del total. Martín-Aragón-Gelabert y Terol-Cantero (2020) analizan algunas de las consecuencias que esta epidemia puede tener en el personal sanitario español y presentan algunas sugerencias para el diseño de líneas estratégicas de intervención psicosocial cuando la emergencia termine. Adoptando la perspectiva de la psicología social comunitaria, analizan las debilidades del sistema sanitario (e.g., estrés, duelo), las amenazas (e.g., que tras la crisis los recursos se detraigan del ámbito sanitario), las fortalezas (e.g., refuerzo de la sanidad pública y reconocimiento tangible de la labor de los sanitarios), y oportunidades (e.g., formación plural y continuada del personal sanitario).…”

Adopting the perspective of community social psychology, they analyse the weaknesses of the healthcare system (e.g., stress, grief), the threats (e.g., that resources will be shifted away from healthcare after the crisis), the strengths (e.g., reinforcement of public health and tangible recognition of the efforts of healthcare workers) and the opportunities (e.g., continuous, plural training of healthcare workers).…”
