Abstract
Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and dieticians have an important role to play during this pandemic in the triage, diagnosis and treatment of patients with the coronavirus. This role is associated with a high work pressure, shift of tasks and responsibilities, new working conditions and exposure to severe emotional events. Our practice-oriented research aims to equip paramedics against the physical and emotional consequences of the corona pandemic.
