“…These adverse STS-related experiences had obvious negative consequences on treatment effectiveness [ 16 ]. Furthermore, a positive association between STS and severe FCV-19 has also been found in prior reports examining determinants of STS [ 55 ] or PTSD [ 43 ] in HCWs. However, in the only study in MHWs that examined FCV-19 as a predictor of PTSD, among other factors, no significant relationship emerged [ 25 ].…”

Several studies have examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ mental health, but only a few have investigated its detrimental effect on the mental well-being of mental health workers (MHWs). Background: The current study aimed to explore the effect of the fear of COVID-19 (FSV-19) on professional quality of life dimensions, namely compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO), and secondary traumatic stress (STS) in MHWs above and beyond sociodemographic and professional factors. Methods: Hierarchical linear regression models were employed to examine the relationship of extreme FSV-19 with CS, BO, and STS in MHWs (n = 224), after considering sociodemographic variables as potential confounding factors. Extreme FSV-19 was operationalized as a binary variable with a cut-off score of ≥16.5 considered as extreme fear. Results: We found that extreme FSV-19 in MHWs is linked with increased compassion fatigue (BO and STS), and this relationship is exacerbated by younger age in regard to BO and by female gender concerning STS. CS remains unaffected by severe FCV-19, and it is higher in older participants. Conclusion: Organizational support is required to protect MHWs’ mental well-being and ensure the quality of care they provide during prolonged crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Measures that intensify a sense of safety, protection, and control against COVID-19 infections in mental health services should be included in the recommendations that may reduce BO and STS among MHWs.

“…Though unstandardized coefficients are the preferred metric in causal modelling and/or comparing effects across studies when the raw metric is meaningful (Asher, 1983;Hayes, 2017;James et al, 1982), standardized coefficients are preferred when the raw metric is not particularly useful (e.g., Likert scales) and/or when comparisons of relative effects within a study is desired (e.g., predictive validity; Keith, 2019). Thus, as is commonly done in similar studies within the stress and health literature (e.g., Abualigah et al, 2021;Lawrence & Elphinstone, 2021;Yörük & Acikgoz, 2022), we report standardized versus unstandardized beta coefficients for interpretability and to make comparison across predictors. While a refined more encompassing measure of work-life conflict should be helpful to scholars and practitioners, utility is gauged by its incremental prediction beyond existing measures, such as that by Carlson et al (2000).…”

While work-family conflict, and more broadly work-life conflict, has traditionally been conceptualized through the dimensions of time, strain, and behaviour, an expansion of these dimensions should prove advantageous for measurement and comprehension. Specifically, energy and emotion-based conflict have been cited as possible factors that would be beneficial to the measurement of work-life conflict. While these forms of conflict have been discussed as viable areas of expansion in the work-life conflict literature, there has yet to be a systematic empirical attempt to include both energy and emotion as their own distinct dimensions. In the present research, items were identified and/or created to represent energy and emotionbased forms of conflict to explore their feasibility in work-life conflict measurement. Energy and emotion were identified as distinct dimensions of work-life conflict through four studies of construct validation. Collectively, a four-factor solution of time, behaviour, energy, and emotion was supported. Multi-wave data indicated that energy and emotion-based conflicts were incrementally predictive of outcomes, including job satisfaction and job-related burnout, above and beyond other measures. By combining and expanding existing literature to include energy and emotion as independent dimensions, this research creates a more encompassing scale that more comprehensively represents the construct of work-life conflict.

“…54 This was confirmed again in study stating that anxiety about contracting the COVID-19 and anxiety in family members from the transmission of COVID-19 contributed to secondary traumatic stress. 55 Individual impact on healthcare providers is also shown by a study in Turkey finding that stress and work fatigue of healthcare providers in caring for COVID patients affected their quality of life. 56 Another study found anxiety was higher among healthcare providers who had children.…”

Health facilities are experiencing overcapacity, oxygen scarcity, and a limited number of healthcare providers due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), thus impacted on anxiety. This study aimed to determine predictors of anxiety among healthcare providers toward the Delta variant of COVID-19 in Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 371 healthcare providers in Java and Bali Islands, and the snowball sampling technique was used. Data were collected using a questionnaire and distributed through social media (WhatsApp), then analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate analysis (Chisquare test), and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression). The results showed that 81 (21.8%) respondents experienced anxiety. The workplace (AOR: = 0.617; p-value = 0.011), a history of confirmed positive for COVID-19 (AOR = 2.965; p-value<0.001), and the respondent's comorbidities (AOR = 8.753; p-value<0.001) were significantly associated with anxiety toward the delta variant. Healthcare managers must regularly evaluate the psychological condition of their subordinates during the COVID-19 pandemic so that anxiety can be detected and overcome early through constructive self adaptation and positive coping mechanisms.
