“…As of 17 February 2023, about 760 million people have been infected worldwide, of which about 7 million have died 2.

ObjectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the burnout and mental health of medical staff. This meta-analysis aims to provide additional (and updated) evidence related to burnout and mental health problems among medical staff using a broader data pool.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang data and three preprint databases (SSRN, bioRxiv and medRxiv) were searched from 1 January 2020 to 17 May 2021.Eligibility criteriaWe included observational studies investigating the prevalence of burnout and mental health problems among medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, including cross-sectional study, cohort study and case–control study.Data extraction and synthesisTwo independent reviewers used a self-designed form to extract the primary data. The Joanna Briggs Institute quality appraisal tool was used to assess the quality of selected studies. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed by I2statistic. A random-effects model was used to pool the prevalence. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore between-group differences.Results250 studies were included, with a sample of 292 230 participants from 46 countries. The pooled prevalence of burnout, anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and somatic symptoms was 43.6% (95% CI 36.3% to 51.2%), 37.1% (95% CI 34.7% to 39.7%), 37.6% (95% CI 35.0% to 40.4%), 43.7% (95% CI 39.1% to 48.5%), 41.3% (95% CI 35.1% to 47.9%), 30.6% (95% CI 23.6% to 38.5%) and 25.0% (95% CI 16.7% to 35.6%), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed a higher prevalence of anxiety, depression and insomnia in frontline workers than in non-frontline workers, and a higher prevalence of anxiety in females than males. Mild cases accounted for the most significant proportion of the outcomes except for stress.ConclusionsThis study highlights that identifying the risks of burnout and mental health problems and adopting preventive interventions are priorities for policymakers and medical staff to avoid long-term occupational, health and social impacts.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021254425.

“…Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic also led to a heightened push towards self-care promotion generally (Miller & Cassar, 2021;Omrani et al, 2021). Social science researchers have widely studied and documented the biopsychosocial impacts of isolation, illness, financial stress, and fear on quality of life, citing self-care as a major requirement for overall mental health.…”

The 2021 revision to the ethical code for social workers mandated engagement in self-care. A review of workforce data suggests that the need for self-care in social work is largely due to poor working conditions, inadequate pay, unavailability of quality supervision, and lack of professional recognition. Thus, making self-care largely a personal responsibility is adopting a “blaming the victim” mentality that the profession has historically rejected in its approach to client problems. Social work is rooted in examining the social conditions of people within their environments and focusing on making macro level changes to remedy systemic problems. Though not intentional, the ethical mandate for social workers to remedy the stress, trauma, and burnout resulting from environmental stressors is misplaced, though not surprising. In recent years, social workers have focused more on working with individuals to fix their problems rather than making contextual changes that are largely responsible for the ills. This article reframes the emotional and psychological problems experienced by social workers as a social justice issue, requiring mezzo and macro, rather than micro, level intervention. Embracing this alternative perspective requires a commitment to mobilization, advocacy, and political engagement—approaches that have been deprioritized by many within the social work profession.

“…In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on adults’ self-rated health (SRH) ( Minegishi et al, 2022 , Peters et al, 2020 , Reigal et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, individuals’ mental health has also deteriorated: More people have suffered from depression ( Burke et al, 2020 ), anxiety ( Burke et al, 2020 , Qiu et al, 2020 , Wang et al, 2020 ), and distress ( Taylor et al, 2020 , Wang et al, 2020 ) because of the fear of COVID-19 ( Taylor et al, 2020 ), social distancing, lack of interaction with others ( El Omrani et al, 2021 , Oosterhoff et al, 2020 ), and limited physical activity ( Reigal et al, 2021 ). Previous studies have also found that financial difficulties are negatively related to mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Campbell-Scherer et al, 2021 , Halford et al, 2020 , Ryan et al, 2021 ).…”
