J Public Health (Oxf). 2021 Jun 7;43(2):e334-e335. doi: 10.1093/pubmed/fdab039.

Abstract

A recent article discussed the results of mental support for healthcare professionals and mental care during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the report, the researchers suggest that healthcare professionals must be given psychosocial support during and after the pandemic to prevent any long-term consequence. In this correspondence, this paper proposes that psychosocial support must also be given to educators in a work-from-home setup since they are also affected by the stresses that came with the pandemic.

Keywords: psychosocial support; work-from-home.
