The stress of exposure and fear of infecting themselves or their loved ones associated with working as a health-care worker is related to adverse mental health effects such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, distress. Common risk factors included a lack of social support and communication, maladaptive coping strategies, and a lack of (usually disaster) training. Moral injury is also a subject of concern in health-care workers, especially those who had worked in the over-stressed ICUs where they had to make tough decisions about how to prioritize scant or inadequate resources, potentially resulting in deaths that might be avoidable under normal circumstances
