Exploring psychological issues of primary care teams in Malaysia amidst COVID-19

We aim to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological stress and well-being of primary healthcare workers (HCWs) in Malaysia. This research will provide information on psychological issues faced by primary care team who are the front liner facing this pandemic. It will provide insight to approaches to support their psychosocial needs, which in turn will help prepare other countries yet to face this pandemic and the next unforeseen pandemic and provide equitable access to the needs of these HCWs. Quick dissemination to policy holders on the findings will influence early support given to HCWs after the current first wave and potentially in a future second wave.
