Work stress and Moral Injury occur and often go undetected in our daily lives!
Health workers and first responders are more likely to experience mental health challenges.
Working conditions have always been difficult for healthcare workers and first responders:
- Intensely stressful emotional situations as they care for those sick, dying, or in crisis.
- Exposure to human suffering and death
- Unique pressures from relationships with clients, family members, and employers
- Working conditions pose a risk for hazardous exposures to COVID-19, other contagious infectious diseases, and complex work sites.
- Demanding physical/mental work with the risk of injuries from the environment and the client while assisting others.
- Many first responders and health workers have unstable, unpredictable work lives and financial strain.
- Long, unpredictable schedules for work hours are often related to as-needed scheduling, unexpected double shifts, and extreme intensity of on-call work.
- High administrative burdens with little control over the workplace demands.
Healthcare Workers and First Responders
For many healthcare workers and first responders, the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated additional fatigue, strain, stress, loss, and grief. Increased workloads, being short-staffed, and facing shortages of vital resources such as PPE.
First responders and healthcare workers are now facing personal trauma and loss as they recover from being in the equivalent of a war zone on the job site. Their health and well-being are on the line, affecting their jobs and relationships with their spouses, children, and extended families.
Some healthcare workers also cope with long-term COVID-19 symptoms after workplace-related exposure.
Stigma also contributes to mental health concerns for healthcare workers and first responders. There is a solid historical stigma related to them seeking care for mental health concerns or substance use.
