Brief Summary

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus detected in Wuhan, China on December 2019. This virus is responsible for the infectious respiratory disease called Covid-19.

The psychological effects of this epidemic are found among the general population, but also healthcare workers. Some studies have shown that psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, denial, anger and fear, post-traumatic stress disorder are emerging among healthcare workers. However, there is currently insufficient data to evaluate the burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the covid-19 epidemic on stress and burnout on healthcare workers and their coping strategies.
