Addressing interpersonal conflict among healthcare workers during the coronavirus pandemic

摘要

The coronavirus outbreak is having a severe and profound socioeconomic impact worldwide. There are daily reports in the news media of healthcare services that are overwhelmed due to a lack of protective equipment and an increasing caseload of patients in need of hospitalization or intensive care. Healthcare personnel are on the front lines of the pandemic, and abundant evidence shows they are at increased risk of both infection and acute/chronic psychological distress. Greenberg et al. recently discussed moral issues that healthcare workers may perceive during the pandemic.1 Herein, we would like to shed light to another relevant issue that healthcare teams must deal with during these challenging times.
