Analyzing Health Care Professionals' Resilience and Emotional Responses to COVID-19 via Twitter: Retrospective Cohort and Matched Comparison Group Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The functioning of health care systems in emergencies relies on health care professionals (HCPs). During the COVID-19 pandemic, HCPs faced significant emotional challenges, which affected their productivity. Revealing HCPs' emotional responses may enable the development of effective support strategies for future crises. This study examines the emotional response of HCPs and compares it with that of non-HCPs across distinct pandemic phases.

Objective

The study aimed to explore and compare the emotional response of HCPs and non-HCPs during the COVID-19 pandemic, to investigate how emotional responses are linked to the pandemic's evolution in the United States, and to assess whether the emotions experienced by HCPs can serve as an early indicator of pandemic progress
