It is essential to pay attention to the mental health of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. At present, existing studies mainly describe the problems existing in various regions and countries, and there are few summaries on the mental health of medical staff. This article analyzes and summarizes the influencing factors, diagnosis, and prevention and treatment strategies of mental health problems of medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. The key factors include insufficient social support, high-risk exposure in the clinical environment, and heavy workload, especially in intensive care. In addition, women, young staff, nurses, and people with a history of mental illness are more susceptible to psychological distress. This article also discusses diagnostic methods and outlines prevention strategies, including policy intervention, strengthening social and emotional support, equitable workload distribution, and reducing stigma. The results can be applied to the care of medical staff, the formulation of public health strategies, and provide some reference for future research.
