This paper is a review of the self-care challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical and emotional health and well-being of healthcare providers. New self-care practices are presented.
Globally, thousands of health care practitioners and staff have been infected; many have died. Research studies reveal that this pandemic has threatened the health of healthcare staff, their families, and communities in many unique ways, such as fear of infecting family (lack of safety at home), moral injury, witnessing the suffering of the "innocent," coping with a problem too big to solve (the enormity problem), and racial trauma. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global population in ways not seen in a century. The unique self-care challenges of COVID-19 while enhancing the symptoms of burnout, i.e., physical, and mental exhaustion, despair, helplessness, and suicidal thinking, need to be addressed directly. This paper offers a new COVID-19 self-care model and approach.
本文综述了 COVID-19 大流行对医护人员身心健康和幸福感带来的自我护理挑战，并介绍了新的自我护理措施。
在全球范围内，数以千计的医护人员和工作人员被感染；许多人因此死亡。研究表明，这场大流行以许多独特的方式威胁着医护人员及其家人和社区的健康，例如担心感染家人（在家中感到不安全）、道德伤害、目睹“无辜者”的痛苦、应对无法解决的大问题（巨大问题）以及种族创伤。COVID-19 大流行以一个世纪以来未曾见过的方式影响了全球人口。需要直接解决 COVID-19 带来的独特自我护理挑战，这些挑战加剧了职业倦怠的症状，如身体和精神疲惫、绝望、无助和自杀念头。本文提出了一种新的 COVID-19 自我护理模式和方法。
