Abstract:
This study presents benchmarked data of HCWs from across South Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of psychological distress as measured by the Kessler (K-10) psychological distress scale among HCWs in South Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine the factors associated with psychological distress among HCWs at a national level. We also make relevant recommendations to put in place measures for their psychological well-being.
