Burnout and psychological distress amongst Australian healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic

Hannah Dobson et al.

Summary: This study found that healthcare workers in a large metropolitan hospital in Australia exhibited moderate to severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD during the COVID-19 pandemic, which were associated with burnout, prior psychiatric history, profession, and resilience. Despite low levels of COVID contact, moderate to high levels of psychological distress were reported, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and support for healthcare workers' mental well-being as the pandemic evolves.

Life in a time of COVID: a mixed method study of the changes in lifestyle, mental and psychosocial health during and after lockdown in Western Australians

Ranila Bhoyroo et al.

Summary: The study found that the COVID-19 lockdown in Western Australia resulted in decreased physical activity, poorer mental well-being, lower sense of control over one's life, and increased loneliness. During the lockdown period, there was a higher consumption of junk food, soft drinks, and alcoholic drinks. The research suggests that more timely and comprehensive information campaigns on physical activity, nutrition, and mental well-being should have been provided during the lockdown period to mitigate negative impacts on health.

Predictors of poor mental health among nurses during COVID-19 pandemic

Son Chae Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that most nurses experienced moderate to high levels of stress during the pandemic, with 43% and 26% reporting moderate to severe anxiety and depression, respectively.
