This work is often undertaken in challenging conditions and healthcare workers (HCWs) may consequently experience traumatic events.1 2During previous disease outbreaks, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), HCWs experienced feelings of extreme vulnerability and uncertainty producing somatic and cognitive symptoms of anxiety.3 4Following the control of the SARS outbreak, depression and avoidance were evident among HCWs, with the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity estimated at approximately 75%.3 4 PB - BMJ Publishing Group UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10023/23803 KW - Coronavirus (COVID-19) ER
