"The Covid-19 pandemic, which originally spread in China in late 2019 and then affected the entire world including Israel, has thrown into the battle numerous medical teams, including physicians, nurses and other paraedical teams, both in hospitals and in the community. The medical personnel embarked on a variety of new tasks and challenges, which required them to manifest extraordinary strength. Healthcare providers and caregivers are one of the vital resources in each and every country. Their health and safety are important and crucial parameters not only for the continuous and safe care of patients, but also for controlling the outbreak of epidemics. Working in the medical field is known to bear implications for the mental health of healthcare providers and anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress are not a rare occurrence (S. Liu et al., 2020). Therefore, there is a need to consider the well-being of medical staff and to provide support where needed." |
