| description | Background: The frontline medical staff are under heavy workload conditions and are at high risk of infection with coronavirus disease 2019. This pandemic has burdened unprecedented psychological stress. The study aimed to compile and analyze the challenges of mental health among medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak Method: PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, and google scholar databases were systematically searched for published studies. Cross-sectional studies examining the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the medical staff's mental health were selected. Result: Eventually, 7 articles were extracted for the final analysis after reviewing the titles, abstracts, and full text. The results show that the most common psychological problems of medical staff include stress, anxiety, and depression. The medical staff had higher levels of fear, anxiety, and stress than the management staff. Among physicians and nurses, the two groups that are most involved with patients with COVID-19, the nurses showed more anxiety and stress than physicians. Conclusion: The mental health of the medical staff during the COVID-19 epidemic is at greater risk than ever before. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt comprehensive and effective supportive policies and strategies for health systems and governments. Resumen: Antecedentes: El personal médico de primera línea se encuentra en condiciones de gran carga de trabajo y tiene un alto riesgo de infección por la enfermedad del coronavirus 2019. Esta pandemia ha causado un estrés psicológico sin precedentes. El objetivo del estudio fue recopilar y analizar los desafíos de la salud mental en el personal médico durante el brote de COVID-19. Método: Se realizaron búsquedas sistemáticas de estudios publicados en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science y Google Scholar. Se seleccionaron estudios transversales que examinaran el impacto del brote de COVID-19 en la salud mental del personal médico. Resultado: Finalmente, se extrajeron 7 artículos para el análisis final después de revisar los títulos, resúmenes y texto completo. Los resultados muestran que los problemas psicológicos más comunes del personal médico incluyen estrés, ansiedad y depresión. El personal médico tenía niveles más altos de miedo, ansiedad y estrés que el personal administrativo. Entre los médicos y enfermeros, los dos grupos que más se involucran con los pacientes con COVID 19, los enfermeros mostraron más ansiedad y estrés que los médicos. Conclusión: La salud mental del personal médico en la epidemia de COVID 19 está en mayor riesgo que nunca. Por lo tanto, es necesario adoptar políticas y estrategias de apoyo integrales y efectivas por parte de los sistemas de salud y los gobiernos. |
