Psychosocial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic: Identification of most vulnerable populations
Abstract With the aim of analyzing the psychosocial impact of Covid-19 pandemic on society in general and health care workers in particular, we developed a 74-question survey questionnaire which was shared through social media. After analyzing 56,656 responses obtained during the first pandemic peak, the results showed an early and important negative impact on family finances, fear of working with Covid-19 patients and ethical issues related to Covid-19 care among healthcare workers (HCW). We have identified 7 target groups at higher risk of impaired mental health and susceptible to benefiting from an intervention: women, under 42 years of age, people with care burden, socio-economically deprived groups, people with unskilled or unqualified jobs, Covid-19 patients, and HCW working with Covid-19 patients. These results should encourage the active implementation of specific strategies to increase resilience in these groups and to prepare an adequate organizational response. Summary boxWhat is already known?Studies in small cohorts have reported an important impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the general population at several levelsAccording to previous studies in small cohorts, approximately 20% of the population suffered from impaired mental health status due to the pandemicWhat are the new findings?We have studied 56,656 survey questionnaires to assess the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on health status, family finances, habits, general health and mental health status, and ethics, especially in health care workersWe have identified 7 target groups susceptible to benefitting from an intervention, and which should be taken into account when designing new contention measures against the pandemicWhat do the new findings imply?The design and active implementation of interventions to build individual resilience, especially for the targeted populations described, and preparation of an appropriate organizational response are keyThe results obtained in this project could help local and national Governments to design or adjust coping measures against future outbreaks
