Burnout and Sources of Stress Among Health Care Risk Managers and Patient Safety Personnel During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pilot Study

Alan J. Card

Summary: This study investigates burnout and sources of stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic among health care risk managers/patient safety practitioners. The results show that over 70% of participants qualified as burned out, with key stressors including social distancing, changing duties and workload, virus impacts, and financial concerns. These findings can help health care organizations take immediate action to protect this vital workforce.

Jessica R. Howard-Anderson et al.

Summary: Among 353 healthcare personnel in a longitudinal cohort in 4 hospitals in Atlanta, Georgia (May-June 2020), 23 (6.5%) had severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies. Spending >50% of a typical shift at the bedside (OR, 3.4; 95% CI, 1.2-10.5) and black race (OR, 8.4; 95% CI, 2.7-27.4) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity.

Evaluation of healthcare personnel exposures to patients with severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) associated with personal protective equipment

Vishal P. Shah et al.

Summary: Personal protective equipment is crucial in preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare settings. Insufficient eye protection is associated with healthcare personnel testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, while using surgical face masks instead of respirators during postexposure quarantine is not significant.

The Disproportionate Impact of COVID-19 on Racial and Ethnic Minorities in the United States

Don Bambino Geno Tai et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority groups like African American, Native American, and LatinX communities with higher death rates. These disparities may be caused by biomedical factors and social determinants of health. Minority groups are more likely to have chronic medical conditions and lower access to healthcare, leading to worse COVID-19 outcomes.

The Duration, Dynamics, and Determinants of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Antibody Responses in Individual Healthcare Workers

Sheila F. Lumley et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that anti-nucleocapsid antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 decline within a few months, with higher titers associated with longer duration. On the other hand, anti-spike IgG remained stably detected. Factors such as age, ethnicity, and symptom presentation also had an impact on antibody levels.

Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection

Jennifer M. Dan et al.

Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Julia M. Baker et al.

Summary: Identifying occupational and community risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity among health care workers, the study found that community contact with COVID-19-positive individuals, community COVID-19 incidence, and being Black were significantly associated with increased odds of infection among HCWs.

Risk Factors Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Seropositivity Among US Health Care Personnel

Jesse T. Jacob et al.

Summary: The study found that healthcare personnel in three states in the USA were primarily influenced by community contact when it came to contracting the coronavirus, with workplace-related factors not showing a significant association. This indicates that current infection prevention practices in diverse healthcare settings are effective in preventing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients to healthcare personnel.

Assessing the Mental Impact and Burnout among Physicians during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Developing Country Single-Center Experience

Muhammad Sohaib Asghar et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers, especially physicians, experienced negative impacts on their mental well-being due to coronaphobia, leading to high levels of burnout, particularly in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Burnout was significantly associated with a history of COVID-19 infection and working in COVID-19 designated areas. Immediate measures are needed to address physician burnout during the ongoing pandemic crisis.

Molly Scannell Bryan et al.

Summary: This study described COVID-19 mortality in Chicago in the spring of 2020, finding higher death rates among black and Hispanic/Latino residents. Residential setting and race were associated with mortality, suggesting neighborhood context may be most influential on COVID-19 death rates among white residents.

Viral Sequencing to Investigate Sources of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in US Healthcare Personnel

Katarina M. Braun et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of healthcare personnel (HCP) infections were not linked to healthcare-associated transmission but rather were genetically similar to viruses circulating in the community. While not ruling out the possibility of healthcare-associated transmission, it emphasizes the importance of mask-wearing, social distancing, robust testing programs, and rapid vaccine distribution.
