Mental health status of laboratory technician participated in the fight
against COVID-19 in Hanoi
For more than a year, the COVID-19 epidemic has been wreaking havoc on
all parts of society, including the economy, culture, and, most
importantly, human health, both physically and psychologically. Mental
health is a relatively new topic that has received very less attention
but plays a critical role in our lives. It is currently being impacted
significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we should pay more attention
to it, particularly among frontline doctors fighting the epidemic,
including laboratory technicians.We evaluated the mental health of this
representative sample of participants in this study, paying special
attention to additional impact variables such as emotional control,
ability to deal with obstacles and demands, ability to develop and
sustain relationships, and job interest. Discovered that specialists at
the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, particularly those
in specialized departments, suffer from mental health issues, with the
fundamental competencies described above having a significant impact on
how they manage their mental health.
