Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Behavioral Sciences is currently publishing manuscripts for a Special Issue on burnout and risk factors in healthcare professionals. This Special Issue will include articles about healthcare professionals’ burnout and all the possible variables related with the syndrome. Burnout syndrome is a significant problem in modern working environments, and its prevalence has increased substantially over the past decade in healthcare professionals. There are many variables that can affect the risk of burnout development in healthcare professionals. To avoid the adverse effects of healthcare professionals´ burnout, it is important to clarify the role that different variables play in the development of burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals. We welcome studies using quantitative, qualitative methods or mixed methods with primary or secondary data. All articles are subject to peer review. For further information, please contact Jose L. Gómez-Urquiza, Ph.D. ([email protected]).

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) brought significant psychological implications for healthcare professionals. We aimed to investigate the serial mediation effect of insomnia and exhaustion in the relationship between secondary traumatic stress (STS) and mental health complaints among the frontline healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, 126 frontline healthcare workers from Romania completed validated surveys between March and April 2020. PROCESS macros were used to test the proposed hypotheses of the three-path mediation model. We computed the models for insomnia as the first mediator (M1) and exhaustion (M2) as our second mediator. STS was significantly related to insomnia. Insomnia was significantly related to exhaustion, and STS was positively related to exhaustion. In the third model, exhaustion was strongly and positively related to mental health complaints. The total indirect effect was positive, and the sequential indirect impact of STS on mental health complaints via both mediators in series (insomnia and exhaustion) was significant. Secondary traumatic stress had a positive direct effect on mental health complaints. In our limited sample, the results show that frontline medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak have high STS, which are related to mental health complaints through insomnia and exhaustion.
