Data for: WHEN HEALTH PROFESSIONALS LOOK DEATH IN THE EYE: THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PROFESSIONALS WHO DEAL DAILY WITH THE 2019 CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

Nurses, doctors, healthcare workers, and other medical professionals who are testing for and treating patients with COVID-19 are at a higher risk of contracting it than the general public. The combination of stress and possible exposure puts healthcare professionals, from physicians and nurses, to specialists, at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 and potentially spreading it to others. Health professionals directly involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with COVID-19 develop the insertion of psychic spaces for the installation of pain and psychological suffering and other mental health symptoms. The foreseeable shortage of supplies and an increasing flow of suspected and real cases of COVID-19 contribute to the pressures and concerns of health professionals.

参与新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）检测与诊疗工作的护士、医师、医护人员及其他医疗从业者，相较普通人群，感染该病毒的风险更高。工作压力与潜在暴露风险的双重作用，使得从医师、护士到专科医师在内的全体医护从业者，感染新冠病毒并将其传播给他人的风险进一步升高。直接参与新冠肺炎患者诊断、治疗与护理工作的医护人员，易出现心理痛苦、精神困扰及其他心理健康相关症状。医疗物资可预见的短缺，以及疑似与确诊新冠病例数量的持续攀升，进一步加剧了医护从业者的工作压力与焦虑情绪。
