5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Timely interventions may reduce the occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in ICU medical staff. Existing research suggests that either self-learning psychological relief methods or seeking online counseling or therapy from professional psychotherapists during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron outbreak has the potential to alleviate the emotional distress and promote the physical and mental health of health care workers. Web-based online mental health interventions complemented by joint effective mental health advice can further reduce harmful negative effects.
