Add to Mental health symptoms in the general population and among health care providers:

A journal investigated a relationship with suicide rates in nursing finding “elevated suicide rates for nurses compared with other, non-healthcare providers” (Davidson et al., 2018).

Add this to sentence about PTSD in article (this disproves that info and adds contradiction:

A cross-sectional study determined the stress levels and presence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms in nurses. The results of Leng’s study showed 5.6% of nurses exhibited significant PTSD symptoms and 22% scored positively on stress levels (Leng et al., 2021). The researchers admit significant changes were not seen in stress or PTSD levels as expected indicating disagreement. This was the only study that disclosed not showing a significant link between nursing and mental health. Despite this, the journal mentioned other similar studies that discovered far stronger correlations and believed a correlation to still be true.

Add this to mention about doctors:

Another similar study decided to use a broader participant scope by including all healthcare workers in the participant sample finding that doctors had slightly higher rates of anxiety and depression. Kamberi’s study concludes that 34.1% of doctors specifically and 26.9% of nurses reported mild levels of anxiety (Kamberi et al., 2021). While the larger representation showed health care workers expressed that 26.9% showed mild levels of anxiety and 35.2% expressed mild to moderate depression levels in all of the health care participants (Kamberi et al., 2021). Kamberi’s study shows that regardless of your medical field, all healthcare fields are susceptible to experience mental health concerns.
