Doctors and nurses are trained not to show fear or be angry with patients, burying their own anxieties to continue the battle against Covid-19 as part of their work.
Universiti Malaya’s psychology expert Mariani Mohd Nor said many of those taking care of Covid-19 patients are facing stress and fear. “They have to show others a brave face and that they’re feeling fine all the time. Most of these health workers are feeling exhausted at work,” she told FMT. “A person might require psychosocial support from their family and mental health professionals if they have difficulty in maintaining their work-related duties. There is danger of increased reliance on alcohol or tobacco to cope with their situation,” she said.
“We are blessed to be living in this era when we have e-commerce and telemedicine. These reduce unnecessary travel and exposure to the virus,” she said.Medical staff FMT spoke to narrated their ordeal in having to go to work every day, preparing themselves mentally to face the virus pandemic.“Although I don’t deal with Covid-19 patients directly, anyone I meet could be a carrier of the virus, including my colleagues and other hospital staff, without them being even aware.
