ABSTRACT
As the COVID-19 pandemic approaches its second year, wellness of healthcare workers has become increasingly important as we acknowledge the chronicity of the current situation. It has become essential as staff shortages fostered by burnout play a key role in dealing with the overwhelmed healthcare system. It is increasingly recognized that the finite collective mental health reserves of our providers is as important as the physical challenges such as hospital beds and ventilators in dealing with the pandemic. Physicians with preexisting burnout were suddenly exposed to a sudden surge of rapidly deteriorating patients compounded by a lack of capacity and supplies. This chapter explores those stressors and efforts to mitigate them. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
