Supporting Healthcare Workers Amidst COVID-19 Stressors and Transtheoretical Model for Organizational Change

Samantha,

Thank you for your post. Healthcare facilities were exposed to tremendous stressors during the 2020 COVID-19 breakout. These stressors resulted in higher rates of PTSD, burnout, and suicide among those working in high-intensity environments. Working conditions that were physically stressful and witnessing the death and suffering of large patient numbers took a toll on the healthcare staff. There was also the fear of being infected and infecting loved ones. This stress contributed to physical exhaustion and fears of anxiety, insomnia, sleep disorders, depression, and burnout (Ardebili et al., 2021; Tsamakis et al., 2020). Ongoing support for healthcare workers is critical at every level, such as society, government, professional organizations, healthcare institutions, colleagues’ friends, and family. The support was to protect and maintain the physical well-being of healthcare workers and early identification of when healthcare workers are at risk. I am glad that the healthcare facility where you work took measures to care for their staff. Continuous education at the time the pandemic was at its worst was very important. Knowledge of the novel virus was critical in helping curtail its spread. I believe we are where we are now as regards the COVID-19 decline in the space because of sharing information and caring for healthcare workers (Tsamakis et al., 2020).
