Summary/Abstract: Empirical evidence on moral injury, psychological ill-health, and severe stress among COVID-19 frontline respiratory and intensive care physicians and nurses has been scarcely documented in the literature. Using and replicating data from BMA, CPHA, Gallup, NHS, NurseFly, Pew Research Center, Potloc, Prescott et al. (2020), Statista, TKW Research, and The University of Melbourne, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding how heightened levels of negative emotions are recurring among frontline medical workers possibly causing COVID-19 stress-related psychiatric disorders. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
