Abstract

In 2019, the COVID-19 caused a worldwide pandemic. Besides pneumonia, mental disorders were also affecting the general public, especially the medical workers. This study mainly focuses on the comparison between frontline and non-frontline health personnel by analyzing the previous research about the topic and integrating the data. Relevant 25 articles studying 15182 personnel in medical service are included. To find associated factors, this study considered age, gender and whether working at the frontline from different perspectives. The result shows that the non-frontline workers have more risk in anxiety, fear, and professional stress, while the frontline personnel have more risk in depression, PTSD, and ammonia. Female medical workers have much more risk in being affected by mental disorders during the pandemic.
