ABSTRACT

The psychological effects of emerging virus outbreaks (SARS, MERS, Ebola virus, Influenza A H1N1 and influenza A H7N9) in health workers identified risk factors for presenting psychological distress such as being younger, being a father of dependent children or having an infected family member. Other factors that were identified were a longer quarantine, lack of support and stigma. Health workers are usually characterized by their emotional resistance, since during their training an emotional distancing is promoted that serves as a protection mechanism against emotional suffering due to continuous contact with patients suffering from serious illnesses. The management of life and death in medical care creates a genuine sense of danger, characteristically in this pandemic there are prolonged shifts, increased volume and severity of patients, as well as a reduced number of material resources necessary for the management of infected patients With COVID-19, critical decision-making in the absence of family members, since health measures prohibit entry to them, intensifies the emotional burden due to witnessing a large number of patient deaths, as well as the infection of colleagues of work and the deterioration of the same concluding in some cases in the unfortunate death, will have to consider in them the increase of their resistance and other strategies as primary prevention measures to their mental health.
