Abstract

COVID-19 presents an increased challenge to the psychological wellbeing of health care professionals. The added strains of caring for patients with COVID-19 and putting themselves at risk to contract the disease take an emotional toll. Affective Psychologist Dr. Jason Harley and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Tina Montreuil will investigate current coping strategies health care workers use to deal with stress, assess their effectiveness and use that information to recommend new measures to protect the mental health of health care professionals. We need frontline health care workers to get through this pandemic, and this study can help ensure their emotional wellbeing.
