“…Stigmatizers' demographics have been investigated in the literature (Abuhammad et al, 2021 ; Cassiani-Miranda et al, 2021 ; Hossain et al, 2021 ; Jiang et al, 2021 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Singh et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). We identified two aspects highlighting the influence of stigmatizers' demographics: (1) certain demographics of stigmatizers are associated with less stigmatizing attitudes toward (suspected) patients and survivors because they reflect higher knowledge about COVID-19 (e.g., higher education and healthcare occupations vs. general public), and (2) certain demographics of stigmatizers are associated with more stigmatizing attitudes toward (suspected) patients and survivors because they reflect lower resources (e.g., rural vs. urban residence) and higher risk of COVID-19 infection (e.g., regions close to the origin location of COVID-19 and old age).…”

“…For example, one study found that the epidemic proximity of one's role, ranging from peripheral (e.g., general public) to intermediate (e.g., family members of COVID-19 patients) to center (e.g., HCWs, police), negatively predicts stigmatization and discrimination toward suspected patients (Chen et al, 2021a ). A web-based cross-sectional study among HCWs also found that having served COVID-19 patients positively predicts acceptance of COVID-19 patients and negatively predicts fear of COVID-19 patients—two dimensions of stigma toward COVID-19 patients (Singh et al, 2021 ).…”

COVID-19, as a crucial public health crisis, has affected our lives in nearly every aspect. Besides its major health threats, COVID-19 brings severe secondary impacts, one of which is the rise of social stigma. Although numerous studies have examined the antecedents and outcomes of COVID-19-related stigma, we still lack a systematic understanding of who is being stigmatized during the COVID-19 pandemic, what exacerbates COVID-19-related stigma, and what impacts COVID-19-related stigma has on victims. Therefore, this review aims to provide a systematic overview of COVID-19-related stigma. With 93 papers conducted with 126,371 individuals in more than 150 countries and territories spanning five continents, we identify three targets that have received the most research: Chinese/Asian people, (suspected) patients and survivors, and healthcare workers. Furthermore, we find that for each stigma target, characteristics of the stigmatized, stigmatizer, and context contribute to COVID-19-related stigma and that this stigma negatively influences victims' health and non-health outcomes. We call for future research to provide a more integrative, balanced, and rigorous picture of COVID-19-related stigma via conducting research on neglected topics (e.g., contextual factors that contribute to stigma toward HCWs) and stigma interventions and using a longitudinal design. In practice, we urge governments and institutions (e.g., ministries of public health, hospitals) to pay close attention to stigma issues and to promote safe and inclusive societies.

“…9 Moreover, work-related fatigue increases medical error, 10 absenteeism and turnover among nurses whereas decreases morale. 11 In Nepalese context, the issue of compassion fatigue and burnout among nurses is overlooked and there have been fewer studies 12,13 which address these situations among health workers. Hence, this study aimed to assess the compassion fatigue, burnout and compassion satisfaction among nurses working in a tertiary care hospital.…”

Background: Nurses frequently experience compassion fatigue and burnout, which have an impact on both their personal lives and patient care. The aim of this study was to assess compassion fatigue, burnout and compassion satisfaction among nurses working in a tertiary care hospital of Nepal during COVID-19 Pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 230 nurses working in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the study sample. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaire with Professional Quality of Life Questionnaire (ProQOL) from 15th July 2021AD to 15th September 2021AD. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 15 for window using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Majority of the nurses reported moderate level of compassion fatigue 177 (77.0%), burnout 176 (76.5%) and compassion satisfaction 164 (71.3%) whereas only 65 (28.3%), 8 (3.5%) and 2 (0.9%) nurses had high level of compassion satisfaction, fatigue and burnout respectively. Level of compassion fatigue and burnout were significantly associated with professional protection training. There was significant relationship found among components of ProQOL where compassion satisfaction was negatively correlated with fatigue (r= -.149: p-0.024) and burnout (r=-.487: p-0.000) but compassion fatigue and burnout were positively correlated with each other (r=0.522, p=<0.001). Conclusions: Majority of nurses working in tertiary care hospital have moderate level of compassion satisfaction, fatigue and burnout during COVID-19 crisis. Hence, effective measures need to be implemented by hospital administration to enhance the nurses’ satisfaction and to reduce fatigue and burnout during pandemic period.
