To address the negative psychological impacts faced by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis, the authors of this commentary recommend three strategic principles for healthcare institutions responding to the pandemic:

  2. Ensure that crisis communication provides both information and empowerment
  3. Create a continuum of staff support within the organization to address a surge in mental health concerns among healthcare workers.
