Systematic review of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicidal behaviour amongst health and social care workers across the world

Abstract

The current quality of evidence pertaining to suicidal behaviour in healthcare workers is poor, and evidence is entirely absent for those working in social care. The clinical relevance of this work is to bring attention to what evidence exists, and to encourage, in practice, proactive approaches to interventions for improving healthcare and social care worker mental health.
