The Mental Health of Healthcare Workers: Navigating the New Normal
Abstract
Increased workloads, fear of illness, social disconnection and high burnout rates during the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant trauma throughout the medical community. Using evidence-based insights from Mental Health Research Canada's quantitative and qualitative data, this article explores how the healthcare community was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent trends in national mental health indicators support a theory of a new normal, but some Canadians continue to fall behind. Overall, these insights highlight the need for sustained efforts from leaders, policy makers and researchers that are crucial to supporting the rebuilding of the healthcare sector in Canada.
