Hospital staff and emergency personnel are expected to suffer impaired psychological outcomes during a pandemic in terms of Quality of Life, anxiety, depression or other outcomes. The Covid-19 pandemic is a threat for both somatic and psychological health, therefore the impact of the impairment of this event on psychological parameters has to be assessed.
Hospital staff and emergency personell are confronted with severe and life-threatening situations, therefore this group is considered to be at risk for impaired psychological health. A pandemic such as the Covid-19 endemic is suggested to severely impair the psychological state of this profession, amongst others Quality of life, anxiety, depression and other parameters. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the impact of impairment due to this global threat on the psychological health of health care providers. We therefore designed this study to evaluate baseline psychological characteristics and to re-assess those values in an interval of 60 days.
