“…However, in the United Kingdom, women in the general population who lived alone and were confined were considered at risk. Being female, a nurse, and belonging to the younger subgroup of workers are factors associated with an increased risk in several studies [63]. Consistent with these findings, women in our study showed a greater loss of psychological wellbeing, PTSD symptoms, and insomnia, which leads us to affirm that gender is a predisposing factor for PTSD risk in our sample.…”

The early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic presented the characteristics of a traumatic event that could trigger post-traumatic stress disorder. Emergency Medical Services workers are already a high-risk group due to their professional development. The research project aimed to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on EMS professionals in terms of their mental health. For this purpose, we present a descriptive crosssectional study with survey methodology. A total of 317 EMS workers (doctors, nurses, and emergency medical technicians) were recruited voluntarily. Psychological distress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and insomnia were assessed. The instruments were the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS-8), and the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS-8). We found that 36% of respondents had psychological distress, 30.9% potentially had PTSD, and 60.9% experienced insomnia. Years of work experience were found to be positively correlated, albeit with low effect, with the PTSD score (r = 0.133). Finally, it can be stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a traumatic event for EMS workers. The number of professionals presenting psychological distress, possible PTSD, or insomnia increased dramatically during the early phases of the pandemic. This study highlights the need for mental health disorder prevention programmes for EMS workers in the face of a pandemic.

“…Health professionals working to combat COVID-19 have been more severely affected by psychiatric disorders associated with depression, anxiety, insomnia, stress, and indirect trauma than other occupational groups [139]. In a meta-analysis with 10,267 health professionals from the pandemic front-line, depression was found in 31.5% in this class [136].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has infected millions worldwide, leaving a global burden for long-term care of COVID-19 survivors. It is thus imperative to study post-COVID (i.e., short-term) and long-COVID (i.e., long-term) effects, specifically as local and systemic pathophysiological outcomes of other coronavirus-related diseases (such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)) were well-cataloged. We conducted a comprehensive review of adverse post-COVID health outcomes and potential long-COVID effects. We observed that such adverse outcomes were not localized. Rather, they affected different human systems, including: (i) immune system (e.g., Guillain–Barré syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndromes such as Kawasaki disease), (ii) hematological system (vascular hemostasis, blood coagulation), (iii) pulmonary system (respiratory failure, pulmonary thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, pulmonary vascular damage, pulmonary fibrosis), (iv) cardiovascular system (myocardial hypertrophy, coronary artery atherosclerosis, focal myocardial fibrosis, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy), (v) gastrointestinal, hepatic, and renal systems (diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia, acid reflux, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, lack of appetite/constipation), (vi) skeletomuscular system (immune-mediated skin diseases, psoriasis, lupus), (vii) nervous system (loss of taste/smell/hearing, headaches, spasms, convulsions, confusion, visual impairment, nerve pain, dizziness, impaired consciousness, nausea/vomiting, hemiplegia, ataxia, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage), (viii) mental health (stress, depression and anxiety). We additionally hypothesized mechanisms of action by investigating possible molecular mechanisms associated with these disease outcomes/symptoms. Overall, the COVID-19 pathology is still characterized by cytokine storm that results to endothelial inflammation, microvascular thrombosis, and multiple organ failures.

“…Procurando formas de minimizar a gravidade do cenário pandêmico, o setor da saúde passou por um processo de adaptação que influenciou o cotidiano dos profissionais da saúde. Após a análise minuciosa dos artigos, tornou-se perceptível que a exaustão causada pela transformação no ambiente trabalho, o aumento da quantidade de pacientes e o crescimento da carga horária tem como consequência não apenas o esgotamento físico como também o mental de profissionais da saúde "evidenciando a necessidade de medidas que visem prevenir este transtorno e que resultem em melhorias na qualidade de vida e na saúde psicológica destes trabalhadores" (Silva, Cobucci, Soares-Rachetti, Lima & Andrade, 2021).…”

Por conta da fácil disseminação e infecção, a COVID-19 criou um delicado cenário de pandemia que influenciou diretamente e indiretamente diversos setores da sociedade. Entre estes setores, os hospitais se tornaram ambientes de trabalho especialmente delicados devido à dificuldade para prevenção e tratamento da doença. Partindo da hipótese de que o desgaste físico e emocional causado pela intensificação da jornada de trabalho no período de pandemia contribua para o esgotamento físico e emocional, o presente artigo possui o objetivo de apontar os impactos da pandemia de COVID-19 no trabalho dos profissionais da saúde. Para isso, uma revisão integrativa foi feita a partir da consulta de textos encontrados no portal de periódicos BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde) utilizando as bases de dados: LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), MEDLINE e IBECS (Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud). Nesta revisão, 9 artigos foram incluídos e lidos integralmente. Através desta pesquisa pode ser percebido que profissionais da saúde tem o risco cotidiano ampliado por conta dos perigos gerados pelo cenário de pandemia. A pressão do trabalho em circunstâncias delicadas resulta em estresse físico e emocional podendo resultar em problemas de ansiedade e prejudicar a qualidade do trabalho oferecida por estes profissionais. A melhoria de fatores como infraestrutura e mudança na rotina de trabalho, pode diminuir estes problemas e auxiliar na melhora do bem estar profissional.
