The psychosocial impact of COVID-19 mitigation measures on frontline staff providing sexual health and family planning services in Kenya: a mixed-methods study

We recommend that future responses include mechanisms that address the psychosocial wellbeing of HCWs as a core element of the response for effective management of pandemics. In the case of new and unprecedented pandemics such as COVID-19, it is important that HCWs are provided with accurate and timely information about the pandemic as well as to what is expected of their conduct in service delivery and in the promotion of a culture of risk reduction.
