“…The psychology domain can be further categorized into 26 sub-categories, where 905 articles have been published in the multidisciplinary aspect of the subject, followed by social issues aspects, and clinical biomedical aspects. Here, studies related to the psychology of health care workers during the pandemic and the impact of massive work pressure and innumerable deaths have been studied (Belmin et al, 2020 ; Busch et al, 2021 ; Crittenden et al, 2021 ; Peng et al, 2021 ). Apart from that, studies related to combating depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts (Carvalho et al, 2021 ; Knowles et al, 2021 ), pandemic anxiety (Robinson et al, 2021 ), and loneliness (Landmann & Rohmann, 2021 ) in different age groups and personalities have been studied.…”

Mapping the research landscape of Covid-19 from social sciences perspective: a bibliometric analysis

COVID-19 has emerged as a widely researched topic and the academia has taken interest in the effects of COVID-19 in various sectors of human life and society. Most of the bibliometric research addresses scientific contributions in medicine, health, and virology related topics, with very little emphasis on social sciences. Therefore, to address this gap, a bibliometric analysis of research related to COVID-19 in the subject area of social sciences was performed on selected publications from January 2020 to mid-2021. A total of 9289 articles were analysed to identify major emerging themes of Covid-19 and social sciences and how research collaborations between countries have helped in communicating critical issues to academia. The empirical results indicate the dominance of psychology and business economics subjects in the social sciences sphere, with the emerging themes as psychosocial problems among people, economics, the outbreak of SARS, and discussions on the quality of life in terms of surroundings and environment. The study also suggests that more collaborations between social scientists working in different nations is required to explore the less focussed themes addressing the local challenges of poor nations.

“…Despite subclinical levels of psychiatric symptoms, healthcare workers’ distress is known to adversely affect the quality of care, patient satisfaction, and medical error rates ( Marvaldi et al, 2021 ; Shanafelt et al, 2012 ; Tawfik et al, 2018 ). As work-related stress has both a health and an economic impact, funding for physical and mental health protection for healthcare workers is required ( Crittenden et al, 2021 ).…”

The “Healthcare workers’ wellbeing [Benessere Operatori]” project is an exploratory longitudinal study assessing healthcare workers’ mental health at three different time points over a 14-month period during the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected socio-demographic and work-related information and assessed the perceived social support, coping strategies, and levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, burnout, and PTSD symptoms. In total, 325 Italian healthcare workers (i.e. physicians, nurses, other healthcare workers, and clerks) participated in the first initial survey and either the second or third subsequent survey. Participants reported subclinical levels of psychiatric symptoms that remained mostly unchanged across time, except for an increase in stress, depression, state anger, and emotional exhaustion symptoms. Despite subclinical levels, healthcare workers’ distress can adversely affect the quality of care, patient satisfaction, and medical error rates. Therefore, implementing interventions to improve healthcare workers’ wellbeing is required.

“…Self-help books that provide strategies for helping professionals while they care for others (e.g., Trauma Stewardship; van Dernoot Lipsky & Burk, 2017) may also be both useful and accessible. Last, Crittenden et al (2021) offer caring approaches for health care providers in COVID-19 that emphasize celebrating successes, reducing isolation and impersonality, accepting distress, and improving the context. Extraordinary times and circumstances must be met with extraordinary responses.…”

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a tremendous strain on health care providers. Although there is a burgeoning body of literature on how COVID-19 has impacted frontline health care workers (i.e., providers treating COVID-19 patients), little attention has been dedicated to second-line workers (i.e., providers treating the mental health of people impacted by COVID-19). In this article, we present findings from a thematic analysis of open-text responses (n = 136) examining how COVID-19 shaped both the well-being of second-line workers, specifically mental health providers, as well as their clinical work in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Results indicated that mental health providers were experiencing significant COVID-19-related burnout and poor physical and mental health outcomes. Participants described diminished negative effects on the quality of their clinical care from the burnout and trauma associated with COVID-19. Many also demonstrated resilience, identifying the duality of both negative (e.g., exhaustion) and positive (e.g., pride in helping others) meaning derived from their second-line work experiences. We conclude with recommendations for preventing and addressing burnout among mental health professionals in the era of COVID-19 and subsequent health emergencies.
