Abstract
For more than 2 years, the world has been upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. Arguably, no other group has experienced challenges as intense and unrelenting during this time as hospital-based health care workers (HCWs). These individuals have played, and continue to play, a key role in the battle against COVID-19, risking psychological and physical safety in the face of this historic pandemic. Mounting evidence shows that HCWs have experienced acute psychological distress, with alarmingly high rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, and sleep disturbances that are likely to persist beyond these recurring waves of the COVID-19 outbreak.
