    Mental Health during COVID-19:
     • In March 2020, Pew Research Center assessed reported signs
       of distress related to COVID-19 in the United States (n=1062):

         • 80% of respondent reported high to moderate distress

         • 60% reported feeling anxious or depressed in the last week

         • 1 out of 4 reported binge drinking at least once in the last
           week

    WHO Guidelines for working with
    High Risk Populations:
 1. Do not attach the disease to any particular ethnicity or nationality. Be
    empathetic to all those who are affected, communicate safety &
    compassion.
 2. It is important to separate a person from having an identity defined by
    COVID-19, in order to reduce stigma. Use these terms to refer people
    who have COVID-19, “people who are being treated for COVID-19”,
    or “people who are recovering from COVID-19."
 3. Stay informed, but not saturated. Get the facts from reliable sources;
    communicating facts can minimize fears with people affected. Gather
    information at regular intervals.
 4. Amplify positive and hopeful stories of people who have recovered.

     Common Provider Fears:

 •  Healthcare workers over age 65 or
 immuno-compromised have a greater fear of
 contracting COVID-19 and dying
 •    We fear contaminating our patients, coworkers, and especially
      our families
 •    We fear re-deployment to an area we do not regularly work in
 •    We fear being quarantined and unable to help our coworkers
 •    We fear occupational or financial loss
 •    We fear the unknown and have uncertainty for our future
SURPRISING STRESSORS TO OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

• Quickly changing guidelines
• Virtual visit systems (most have tried more than one) and
  the ethics of bringing patients in our clinics
• Ethics and supply concerns for PPE, who uses it (staff or
  patients) and how do we protect those most at risk
• Re-deployment & hiring freezes can cause staffing
  problems
• Significant non-covid illness due to patients skipping or
  refusing needed medical care
• Countering mis-information

  These stressors = serious risk for Healthcare Workers

 The AMA has warned,
 “Physicians and other frontline
 healthcare professionals are
 particularly vulnerable to
 negative mental health
 effects as they strive to
 balance the duty of caring for
 patients with concerns about
 their own well-being, and that
 of their family and friends.”
 (AMA, 2020)

       First Victims and Second Victims of COVID-19:
       Healthcare Workers
   •    Even before the pandemic emerged, moral injury and burnout were rampant among
        clinicians. Coping with Covid-19 has magnified many of those challenges and added new
        ones with the reality of resource constraints.

   • Our Trauma Exposure Responses: (Lipsky & Burk, 2009)
            1.    Feeling Helpless and Hopeless
            2.    A Sense that one can never do enough
            3.    Hypervigilance
            4.    Diminished creativity
            5.    Inability to embrace creativity
            6.    Minimizing “occurs when we trivialize a current situation by comparing it with another situation that we
                  regard as more dire”
            7.    Chronic exhaustion/Physical Ailments
            8.    Inability to Listen/Deliberate Avoidance
            9.    Dissociative Moments
            10.   Sense of persecution: “feeling a profound lack of efficacy in one’s life”
            11.   Guilt, Fear
            12.   Anger, cynicism
            13.   Inability to Empathize/Numbing
            14.   Addiction
            15.   Grandiosity” inflated sense of importance related to one’s work

    Healthcare workers are already at
    High Risk for Mental Illness & Suicide:

                                • Physicians/APC’s: One physician
                                  completes suicide every day in the United
                                  States.

                                • EMS Workers: First responders are more
                                  likely to die from suicide than in the line of
                                  duty.

                                •   Nurses & Healthcare Workers: One recent
                                    study on depression documented 18-40%
                                    of nurses were moderate-severely

   Neuroscience of
   Trauma Response:

   Underlying principle: There are two separate pathways in the brain that can
   give rise to anxiety(Ochsner, Ray, Hughes, McRae, Cooper, Weber,Gabrieli,
   & Gross, 2009)

   • Bottom Up Triggering of Emotion
   Links between perceptual representations and amygdala

   • Top Down Emotion Generation (e.g., cortex processes)

   Sleep & Healthcare Workers:
   • Studies have shown that short sleep duration is common among
     nurses and healthcare workers. (Luckhaupt et al. 2010)

   • Insufficient sleep in healthcare workers might have adverse effects
     on the quality of healthcare. A cross-national investigation in six
     countries found high level of nurses’ burnout was associated with
     lower rating of quality of care. (Poghosyan et al. 2010)

     burnout.

   Sleep & Circadian Rhythm
   Sleep deprivation increases activation in amygdala

   REM sleep is particularly correlated with amygdala
   reactivity. More REM sleep, less reactivity.

       • Maintaining regular sleep schedules,
       • Avoiding going to bed thirsty
       • Feeling worried whilst falling asleep
       • Avoiding screen time 2 hours prior; blue light filters
       • Light exposure 1st thing in morning
