Based on the results, the researchers concluded that healthcare worker’s stress, anxiety and depression are influenced by social-support, working time, discrimination and workplace violence; and not influenced by age, gender, working at designated hospital, medical equipment, patient–physician relations and household transmission- related fears.1   View the original paper by Yang and colleagues
