Discussion

Mixed study examines mental health impacts and exposure patterns in healthcare workers during COVID-19, suggesting urgent safety needs.

Mental health issues were significantly higher in high-risk healthcare workers, with 30% experiencing anxiety and 23.4% depression.
In total, 241 healthcare workers were assessed during the study period, showing inadequate PPE use at only 39.3% during exposure.
Occupational exposure patterns revealed that 87.6% of workers experienced a single exposure, mainly in non-COVID wards and emergency areas.
Improvements in occupational safety measures for healthcare workers are vital, as many reported psychological symptoms indicating widespread mental impact.

Goel et al. (2025) studied this question.
