Summary/Abstract: Employing recent research results covering psychological distress, moral trauma, and burnout syndrome among COVID-19 frontline medical personnel, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from APIC, BMA, CMA, Ginger, McKinsey, MedPage Today, Nursing Times, Sperling (2020), Statista, and UPMC, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding how working in intensive care units and exposure to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients are correlated with prolonged stress, anxiety, and depression in frontline medical staff. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
