Abstract
Background: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is currently being studied in multiple formats. While there are expectations and early indicators that mental health will be impacted in the population, little research has focused on the coping of mental health providers with the increased needs of patients.
Method: Mental health providers at a psychiatric hospital were asked to complete a brief screening of anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and burnout (n=41). In addition, participants completed 5 questions on the impact of COVID-19.
Results: ANOVAs were completed to examine the relationship between COVID-19 factors and provider coping. A significant relationship between the impact of COVID-19 on family and anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue was found. No significant relationships between the impact of COVID-19 and coping were identified.
Conclusion: Interventions to support mental health providers are needed as the pandemic continues. These interventions should include components of care for providers family support as well.
