<Abstract>Background: The fact that COVID-19 is transmissible from human to human, associated with high morbidity and potentially fatal, can intensify the perception of personal danger. In addition, the foreseeable shortage of supplies and an increasing flow of suspected and real cases of COVID-19 contribute to the pressures and concerns of health professionals
Method: The studies were identified through widely published international journals, found in two electronic databases: Scopus and Embase. The data were cross-checked with information from the main international newspapers.
Results: Work-related stress is a potential cause of concern for health professionals and is associated with anxiety with multiple clinical activities, depression in the face of the coexistence of countless deaths, long work shifts with the most diverse unknowns and demands in the treatment with patients with COVID-19 - being an important indicator of psychic exhaustion
Conclusions: As coronavirus cases jump and deaths surge in Italy, new figures show an __doublequotosingenormous__doublequotosing level of contagion among the country__ampersandsign#39;s medical personnel. At least 2,629 health workers have been infected by coronavirus since the onset of the outbreak in February, representing 8.3 percent of total cases. New figures show percentage of infected health workers is almost double number registered in China throughout epidemic. Intensive care unit doctors are at the limit of stress, especially when dealing with older patients and with prospects of death.</Abstract>
