Challenges of the pandemic: The reality of health professionals in the face of COVID-19

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers faced serious physical and mental challenges, such as work overload, PPE shortages, and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 contamination, resulting in heightened stress and psychological upheaval. The study reveals that these workers suffered not only from psychological pressure, but also from a lack of resources and adequate support, which aggravated mental exhaustion. The research underlines the urgent need for health policies that offer better psychological support and safe working conditions.
