ROLES OF FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN CURBING THE PANDEMIC

 


Healthcare workers globally have risen to the challenge of treating covid-19 patients, seemingly at a massive cost to their health and well-being. There has been a growing awareness of the mental health effect of the pandemic on frontline workers and the need for psychosocial support for them.

Throughout the pandemic, essential workers have made significant contributions to the basic functions of the economy and society. Nonetheless, not all workers face the same level of infection risk. Some of these workers are “frontline,” meaning they must perform their duties in person, whereas others can work from home. Frontline health workers include nurses, doctors, and lab scientists.

Healthcare providers are fighting covid-19 amidst fast-changing methods for dealing with the current crisis. They face difficulties in dealing with the unforeseen pandemic because of their unpreparedness, the virus’s frequent changes, and the challenges of performing their duties due to a lack of protocol, accurate information, and proper equipment for preventing contamination. Lack of preparation can result in physical and psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, fear, helplessness, hopelessness, anger, and stigma. However, healthcare providers who work with COVID-19 patients strive to do their jobs professionally and make as many sacrifices as possible.
