Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health are conducting an online study to learn how stressors related to the COVID-19 virus affect the mental health of health care workers over time.

The voluntary study involves completing an online questionnaire every 1-3 months for 12 months. For details or to join the study, visit the webpage.   

“Our health care workers have been tremendously resilient as we continue to fight COVID-19 but we know that their sacrifices may result in burnout and other factors that affect their wellbeing,” said Robyn Begley, AHA senior vice president and chief nursing officer and CEO of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership. “The National Institute of Mental Health study will help to provide us with necessary data needed to address the challenges and stresses affecting health care workers as they continue to care for our communities during these unprecedented times.”
