“…In our study, working at a GP practice is associated with twice the risk of developing depression or anxiety. Our data are consistent with a study from France-in follow-up questionnaires, burnout increases among GPs [38]. GPs in Latvia work mainly in private practices with small teams and less social support, and they faced new regulations and duties during the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, remote consultations (by phone) and management of the COVID-19 vaccination process [17].…”

The prevalence of depression and anxiety among healthcare workers (HCWs) during the COVID-19 pandemic is high. The aim of the study is to identify the importance of self-esteem and occupational factors in association with the incidence of depression and anxiety among HCWs through a longitudinal cohort study during the COVID-19 pandemic in Latvia. Participants received seven questionnaires during the COVID-19 pandemic on demographic parameters, work-related information, and contact with COVID-19 patients, and three standardized questionnaires that evaluated symptoms of anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), and self-esteem (Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale). The Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) was used to identify factors associated with the incidence of depression and anxiety among HCWs. A total of 322 participants were included in the data analysis for depression and 352 for anxiety. HCWs with low self-esteem were 83% more likely to experience depression and 76% more likely to experience anxiety. Working at a general practitioner practice is associated with twice the risk of developing depression and anxiety. A 31% increase in the odds of depression is observed among HCWs with direct contact with COVID-19 patients. The organizational and government levels must look for opportunities to facilitate the mental health of HCWs to ensure better-quality healthcare.

“…Thus, since context matter in research ( Arnould et al, 2006 ; Ruël & Van der Kaap, 2012 ), the study of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in a developing country significantly bridges the knowledge gap. Again, although the pandemic situation has generally improved worldwide, its psychological impact is still an important issue that is worth investigating due to the effect it has on both individuals and organizations ( Ahmad et al, 2023 ; Asif et al, 2022 ; Lange et al, 2023 ; Rodríguez-Martín et al, 2022 ). The findings will, therefore, help leaders adopt the appropriate strategies to manage the negative effect and leverage the positive to ensure organizational success in the current emerging economy.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem of professional burnout attracted the attention of researchers and health care organizers even before the pandemic, it was expected that occupational risks during the pandemic would increase the severity of the indicators of professional burnout of physicians, and a decrease in the number of patients and the end of the pandemic would reduce the indicators. Studies have shown the presence of fluctuations in the severity of professional burnout during periods of various waves of morbidity. It is noted that during the pandemic, the most effective coping methods were coping related to obtaining family support and social approval. But after the end of the pandemic, there was a decrease in the effectiveness of these methods in the situation of combating professional burnout, and the search for the meaning of their work turned out to be more productive. It was noted that after the pandemic, compassion fatigue and the “second victim syndrome” played an important role in professional burnout. As a conceptualization of the data obtained on the professional burnout of medical workers before, during and after the pandemic, there was a model of psychological experience of a natural disaster. Studies have shown that certain groups of medical workers are more susceptible to professional burnout. Among them, a special place is occupied by students and residents who are at risk both before and during the pandemic and after it. Despite the increase in psychological stress, psychological exhaustion, the willingness of doctors to seek psychological help remains low at different stages of the pandemic and is associated with fear of discrimination in the professional environment.</p>
