Physicians' Occupational Health During Covid-19: A Qualitative Analysis of Systems Factors

Physicians are at risk for high rates of depression, substance abuse, suicide, and burnout, an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress. New working conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated these occupational health burdens for physicians at a time when baseline levels of stress, burnout, and poor mental health were already overwhelmingly high.This onslaught of new (and potentially recurrent) acute stressors on top of chronic stress presents crisis of occupational health and moral integrity for physicians. There is an important need to (1) characterize the relationship between pandemic workplace conditions and adverse health outcomes (e.g. fatigue, stress, burnout, mental illness) and (2) identify work practices and organizational characteristics that promote occupational health and wellbeing and reduce the risk of such outcomes. To respond to these urgent and ongoing needs, we propose a novel exploratory study of the occupational wellbeing of physicians working on the front line of COVID-19 care.

Understanding the long-term impact of COVID on children and families

The reason we are doing this study is to understand why some people who got COVID-19 are still sick many months after being infected, and how this affects the body. This is sometimes called "Long COVID" or "PASC", which stands for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As part of the study, we would like to get information from you, and put that together with information from other children and families across the country. This will make it easier for us to learn about the different symptoms that children and families are getting, and to understand how many children and families are getting Long COVID, why some children and families are getting Long COVID, the effects that Long COVID is having on the body, and what can be done to help them.
