Psychological Wellbeing of Healthcare Workers Amidst COVID-19

As resources for medical treatment are limited and the demand for treatment is high, stress and anxiety are magnified in frontline healthcare workers, patients of COVID-19, and their families.

I am grateful to have participated in the informational webinar two days ago that was hosted by David Murphy and Julie Highfield under The British Psychological Society because I am inspired by the efforts being made towards psychological support for healthcare workers. I learned about the potential long-term psychological effects of these healthcare workers (post-traumatic stress, resentment, guilt, avoidance, and more), so taking note of 10 recommendations for their psychological well-being, as published in the guidance written by the BPS’s Coronavirus Staff Wellbeing Group, is valuable and reassuring. 

In summary, professionals of the psychology community and leaders in the healthcare industry are recommended to begin establishing clear leadership for the rest of the staff, communicate openly and structurally in order to alleviate some of the anxiety that stems from uncertainty, and to return to one’s own core values when making decisions. For all others, normalizing psychological responses in daily conversations and maintaining human connection and peer support are great ways to keep mental wellbeing in check. Moving forward, the community should look into providing more accessible psychological care to patients and families, which could relieve the burden that healthcare workers experience while also supporting the patients’ and their families’ mental health.

During the Q&A session, hundreds of professionals submitted and up-voted questions they wanted to ask during the live webinar on Zoom. One of the most frequently-asked questions was, given that supplies and resources are limited, what and how should we prioritize? The response to this difficult question was decidedly physical safety and wellbeing--ensuring that basic needs and physical resources are met. Highfield made sure to emphasize the connection between physical health and psychological wellbeing; healthcare workers are consistently exposed to COVID-19 in hospitals and are also experiencing isolation from peers outside of work due to government policy, but the accumulation of these factors can be anxiety-inducing and traumatic to frontline workers. Drawing from previous SARS research, The BPS noted that healthcare workers in a Toronto hospital that treated SARS patients were significantly more likely to experience burnout and leave the workplace than workers from a nearby hospital that did not treat SARS patients. The recommendation for this current pandemic while understanding a limitation in resources is to meet the physical needs of these healthcare workers.

Although I am not a professional, I, as a psychology student and an advocate for mental health, hope to further my advocacy by being well-informed, sharing helpful information, and normalizing instinctive emotional responses such as stress and dissonance at a time like this. 

Thank you nurses, doctors, pharmacists, grocery store workers, psychologists, leaders worldwide, and much more for doing as best as you can for the people. You are so appreciated! 

Stay educated and take care.

Mental Health at Work

Earlier this year I went through a really difficult time where I was experiencing issues at work that were severely impacting on my mental health. It caused so many problems for me that it resulted in me being signed off work for three weeks. The working environment became so toxic and negative that I soon left the company altogether. However during this awful time I approached my area manager and HR in an attempt to come up with a solution for the issues that I was facing. This led to back and forth meetings with HR in the hope that I could highlight the lack of mental health awareness in the workplace and be able to offer some advice on how they could look to improve as a company. The working environment was not anxiety friendly at all and there were certain company policies that were discriminatory towards those who suffer from mental illness. 

As a result of my efforts adjustments were made to the company policies that I had pointed out. In the last meeting that I had with HR, arrangements had been made for every manager in the area to identify which of their employees suffer from a mental illness and more mental health awareness training was to be offered to all members of management across the area. The issues I raised had been brought to the regional meeting to be discussed at a higher level. Alongside this I was named the first mental health ambassador for the area and was asked to be interviewed so that my experiences could be shared across the internal company website!

It goes to show that change never comes from suffering in silence. It comes from bravery and persistence! These changes may not have happened soon enough to help me, but my motivation throughout this whole process was the thought that this could potentially help someone else. 

I hope my interview is able to offer some useful advice about mental health in the workplace. 

1) What is your mental health condition? 

My mental health condition is commonly known as Generalised Anxiety Disorder. This is best described as an ongoing state of mental and/or physical tension and nervousness, without the ability to take a break from the anxiety.  

2) Tell us a little known fact about your mental health condition?

Generalised Anxiety Disorder also known as GAD is a serious mental health condition that is a lot more common than most people realise. According to official statistics from Anxiety UK 1 in 20 of us will experience GAD at some point in our lives.

3) What is it like living with GAD?

For me, living with Generalised Anxiety Disorder is like having a bully that I can’t run away from, constantly filling my head with harsh self-criticism, fear, guilt and shame. I'm in a constant battle with my mind and this makes life difficult for me as anything can become a potential trigger.

GAD can be extremely incapacitating and terrifying for me as when it’s really bad I feel a continual sense of dread, as if something awful is going to happen. It feels like walking down a dark alley at night, waiting to go into a job interview and at the same time waiting at the top of a roller coaster. I start worrying about lots of different things and find it almost impossible to relax, sleep or eat because my mind is constantly in ‘fight or flight mode’. This results in major physical symptoms such as sensory overload, migraines, nausea, racing heart, dizziness and fatigue. In addition to this it affects my day to day life as I also suffer with Social Phobia, Intrusive Thoughts and Agoraphobia, so simple things such as having a conversation with someone, deciding what to wear in the morning or just leaving the house can cause me great distress as I tend to excessively overthink all of my actions.

4) What advice would you give to someone suffering from a mental health problem?

Even though it is the most difficult thing to do, it is so important to speak to someone that you can trust about how you’re feeling or contact your local mental health team to speak to a professional. When I first became concerned about my mental health I reached out to a friend of mine who is very open on social media about her mental health condition. It felt so much better to know that I was not alone in how I was feeling and that there was someone else who could relate to what I was going through.

What I found most helpful was doing some research into my symptoms to gain a better understanding about anxiety disorders, as initially it can be scary and confusing. I also found it useful to share my research with those closest to me so that they could understand the best ways to support me.

In addition to this I would highly recommend downloading a mood tracker on your phone to help you keep track of how you’re feeling daily, this can also be really helpful to use in therapy sessions.  

5) Have you ever encountered any issues at work?

When I first joined the company I was undiagnosed, homeless and in a really bad place. My first manager was amazing and very understanding. She worked with me providing support and one to one sessions whenever I needed them. She also worked around my therapy sessions and made adjustments to my shifts when I was feeling unwell. Her support throughout my journey made my working environment a really positive place that aided my recovery. This was due to the fact that she also suffered from Anxiety and therefore had a better understanding of the condition. When my first manager left I found it very difficult to build up that same level of understanding with other managers. Sadly mental health is still something that many people don’t fully understand so when my first attempts at a solution were unsuccessful I raised the issue to senior members of management and finally the Area manager. I refused to stop until I was happy with the outcome and as a result, adjustments were made to continue supporting my mental health journey at work.

6) What do you do to self care?

As part of my self-care it is important that I stick to a routine as this helps me to feel more calm and relaxed. Some of the things that I do to self-care are as follows: 

Exercise

Trips to the spa

Yoga and Meditation

Writing poetry

Colouring books/painting

Write something positive at the end of every day

Spend time in nature

Play my favourite relaxing playlist

Limit my time on Social Media

Another self-care tip would also be to give yourself time to feel your emotions. If you’re having a bad day, don’t feel guilty about it just give yourself the time that you need to feel better.

8) What can we do to reduce stigma around mental health?

We can start by raising awareness in the workplace and providing more information to management and staff about the most common forms of mental health illnesses. This can be done through training sessions or team building activities. It would make mental health seem like less of a taboo subject and hopefully get more people talking about it throughout the year. Our work colleagues, family members, friends and customers can all potentially suffer from some type of mental health illness, so it is in our best interest to make sure that we are as well informed as we can be so that we can offer the support wherever it is needed.

7) Where do you seek help?

I often talk through my thoughts with my close family members as they can give useful advice or offer a different perspective. I also have weekly therapy sessions where I talk to a mental health professional about how I am coping with my mental health conditions.

8) How do you achieve a work/life balance?

I lead a very busy lifestyle, outside of fashion retail I am also a motivational speaker and a freelance fashion designer working towards my own fashion business so finding that work/life balance is a challenge for me. However to help me achieve this balance I have to stick to a routine, this way I can make sure that every week I am finding time to do the things that I enjoy. I also set alarms throughout the day to remind myself to do some self-care, take breaks and relax.

🙏We are psychologically designed to operate on automatic pilot. Habits and behaviors save time and save energy. Of course, this is advantageous if the habits are healthy. However, far too often habits are born from escapist or conditioned behaviors which ultimately prove to be self destructive. Remember... 1) Temporary relief is temporary. 2) Tolerance is inevitable. Today’s escape and relief will be tomorrow’s disappointment. 3) All of us are works in progress. No one has arrived. No human is exempt from the absurdity of the human condition. 4) Continuous self improvement is both a means and an ends. It’s the means to attain the end goal of the good life. However, it is also the ends itself as pursuit of goal contributes to the good life . 5) Pursuing the best version of yourself can be a joyful process. Goal oriented behaviors release #dopamine.
