Thank you to BACCN for contributing to The COVID-19 Pandemic’s Impact on Critical Care Resources and Providers: A Global Survey
14th Oct 2020
In this global survey of critical care providers caring for COVID-19 patients, the reported lack of ICU nurses was higher than that of intensivists.High rates of provider emotional distress and burnout are reported across geographic regions. Female HCPs, nurses, and those reporting lack of ICU nurses, PAPRs, and experiencing poor communication were at highest risk for burnout. Targeted interventions to support healthcare providers by addressing modifiable risk factors such as insufficient access to PPE and poor communication, are needed.
