Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to all facets of society for more than two years, most notably to the economy, culture, and, most significantly, to people’s bodily and mental health. Despite receiving little attention, mental health is a relatively new subject that is vital to our daily lives. The COVID-19 pandemic is presently having a big influence on it; therefore, we should pay greater attention to it-especially among front-line doctors and healthcare workers battling the outbreak. We assessed the mental health of this representative sample of research participants, giving particular emphasis to extra impact factors such well-being, excellent behavioral adjustment, get the capacity to build constructive relationships, as well as the ability to manage with stress. It was found that while many doctors and healthcare professionals in Vietnam who directly treat COVID-19 patients have normal mental health status, there are still about 40% of them who are experiencing mental health issues, with the fundamental competencies mentioned above having a significant influence on how they manage their mental health.
