The Impact of COVID-19 on the Mental Health of Healthcare Workers

This poster presentation summarizes publicly available data collected by the World Health Organization, the Government of Canada, the College of Nurses of Ontario, the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, and the University of Windsor’s scholarly database to examine the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the mental health and well-being of healthcare workers. We reviewed online databases to find peer-reviewed articles and journals. We also reviewed government and organizational websites, as well as broadcasting platforms. We analyzed secondary data systematically vetting for credibility, reliability, and relevance to our topic. We found a positive correlation between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mental health of healthcare workers. Further research is required to understand the full impact on mental health of health care workers at all levels and regions, with particular interest for studies affecting individuals living in great adversity, as well as those living in lower-to-middle income countries.
