Health care workers report increase in burnout, harassment since the COVID pandemic: CDC
A new CDC report published Tuesday found health care workers are experiencing worse mental health since the COVID pandemic and it's reaching "crisis levels."
Health care workers are facing a severe mental health crisis, according to a new survey published Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Workers said they are experiencing harassment, burnout, and other mental health symptoms -- including anxiety and depression -- at levels higher than before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Health workers and health-related professions have historically faced long work hours, often with unpredictable or rotating schedules or like what I experienced as an emergency physician working overnights and on holidays," Dr. Debra Houry, the CDC's chief medical officer, said during a press conference about the report Tuesday afternoon.
