Are healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic at risk of psychosis? Findings from a scoping review. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 2021 Mar-Apr;69:111-112.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/15909The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the largest pandemic since the 1918 influenza pandemic and the worst global crisis since World War II. The health, economic, and social impact of COVID-19 is having significant negative consequences on mental health [1]. Beyond COVID-19 patients themselves, healthcare workers (HCWs) are especially vulnerable to mental health and emotional problems [1,2]. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis has shown high prevalence of depressed mood (22.8%), anxiety (23.2%), and insomnia (34.3%) among HCWs during the COVID-19 crisis, when being female and working in the frontline seem to be factors associated with an increased risk of developing such mental disorders [3]. However, the likelihood of HCWs developing psychotic symptoms as a result of the psychological distress derived from the current coronavirus pandemic has been little explored.enAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/COVID-19CoronavirusHealthcare workersPsychotic disordersSARS-CoV-2COVID-19Health PersonnelHumansOccupational StressPsychotic DisordersRisk FactorsSARS-CoV-2letter to the editor32646621open accessPandemiasSalud mentalMetaanálisisAnsiedadPacientesDistrés PsicológicoPrevalenciaTrastornos del inicio y del mantenimiento del sueñoTrastornos mentales10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2020.06.0151873-7714PMC7329681https://doi.org/10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2020.06.015https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7329681/pdf
