to create an actionable approach in providing the proper equipment and policies to frontline workers.
This means equitable, widespread material solutions, and culture shifts that make for a safer America.
Here, we have outlined five of these actionable items to better ensure healthcare worker protections

 Create a More Equitable System of Care Resources and Delivery
 Strengthen and Encourage the Growth of the Healthcare Industry
 Institute Price Controls on Essential Medical Equipment like PPE
 Shift the National Culture Towards Hygiene and Safety
 Develop Waste Reductive, Sustainable Medical Equipment Solutions
With more equitably distributed resources, price controls, and sustainable solutions, health care
facilities can better be protected against health crises of any kind. These protections should be
instituted at every level, through joint efforts of the public and private sector. Only then can we build a
culture that celebrates health and hygiene, and in turn ensure that more lives are saved. Support front

community safety nets wherever you are.
Medical waste is a problem in environmental sustainability as well as a contributor to high medical
costs and limited supplies. Reportedly, care facilities spend $10 billion per year on waste management.
Hazardous and regulated biochemical waste is barely a factor in this expense as well, with 85% being
often-recyclable standard trash generated by hospitals.

and Embase databases. Studies were included for review if they investigated the impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 on
mental health outcomes of hospital‐based HCWs and used validated psychiatric scoring tools. Prevalence of
ICD‐10 classified psychiatric disorders was the primary outcome measure.
Recommendations
 HCWs should follow working patterns which balance service provision and staff safety, with designated
rest periods to prevent burnout and insomnia.
 All HCWs should have access to Psychiatric Rapid Response teams.
 Healthcare employers should systematically screen HCWs for mental health illness using risk factors
identified and use this to implement mental health programs locally.
why)
 Social support is crucial and can be provided through hospital support groups. Staff should be actively
encouraged to remain in contact with their friends and family.
 There is a need for a validated, standardized HCW mental health scoring tool for specific use during a
contagion outbreak. One such scale for work‐related stress and anxiety during SARS‐CoV‐2 (‘SAVE‐9’)
has been recently devised.
 Future research should assess the international incidence of long‐term psychiatric disorders in HCWs as
a result of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic to inform mitigation and future prevention strategies.

nurses, to change their routine practice of caring for patients, particularly dying patients.

This study examines the relative influence of personal resilience, social support and organisational support in

Resilient nurses and those who perceived higher organisational and social support were more likely to report

coping strategies was divided into normalisation, refusal to dwell on experiences, avoidance, expression of
emotions and distraction; and the theme of necessities was divided into psychosocial support and resource
management.
This study has found that nurses caring for COVID-19 patients in Turkey were negatively affected by the pandemic,
both in psychological and social terms. They also used short-term coping strategies and required psychosocial
support and resource management. Although the health workers sampled in this study were mostly supported by
society, they sometimes encountered stigmatising attitudes. Therefore, further studies may be conducted to
determine the causes and levels of stigmatisation among health care professionals. Again, it is thought that
burnout may occur due to the increased workload placed on nurses during the pandemic process.

Caring, the act of giving care, is seen through history as an essential part of being human and humanity. The
Filipino society is generally known to be a caring community, which includes sacrificing their own resources
for the benefit of their fellow citizens. Caring is embedded within the culture which is why Filipinos find it
easy to care for someone with whom they are unrelated by affinity or nationality; therefore, Filipinos are
highly in demand globally in terms of health care services, particularly nursing. Benevolence
(Pagkamapagkawanggawa) is a bioethical principle that is innate within the Filipino culture.

The need for health refers to the nurse’s attention to their own physical and mental health, and the need for
safety refers to the hope for adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) and the emotional stability of
