This article reviews the prevalence of burnout, anxiety, and depression among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing data from 250 studies, highlighting stressors such as emotional exhaustion, workload, and trauma exposure.

This article evaluates the prevalence of PTSD in practicing physicians and how it influences work performance.

In this meta-analysis, insomnia was found to be the most common mental health problem, followed by anxiety, PTSD, depression and stress in healthcare workers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, the pooled prevalence of these mental health problems was higher among physicians, nurses and older staff in the subgroup analysis. As a result, health policymakers and managers of the health care system should think about effective interventions to promote mental health, paying particular attention to these two groups.

Findings highlight the importance of a positive ethical climate in social service organizations and, especially, of adequate support for social workers. Our findings also emphasize the relevance of increased guarding and monitoring in the workplace and training to strengthen social workers' sense of resilience and provide strategies to cope with ethical conflicts and client violence.

Professionals in forensic and mental health fields frequently experience heightened stress due to exposure to traumatic material and aggressive behaviors. Burnout rates are higher compared to other healthcare roles. Factors like maladaptive coping mechanisms and insufficient support amplify stress, making structured wellness programs crucial.

This article examines mental health stressors such as PTSD and anxiety in digital forensic investigators, law enforcement, and healthcare professionals due to repeated exposure to highly disturbing images, situations, events.

This issue discusses the prevalence of vicarious trauma and PTSD in forensic psychiatrists and psychologists, emphasizing the need for research and awareness.

Preliminary research suggests that exposure to trauma negatively affects forensic science professionals' overall health and wellness. The linkage between traumatic exposure and health and wellness has long been established for other justice system professionals (i.e., police and corrections officers). For forensic professionals, however, the evidence collected to date, while significant, just scratches the surface of trauma's substantial and long-term impacts.

This is a review of the most recent information (to 2019) regarding anxiety, PTSD, and sleepiness and fatigue in order to identify the interventions and treatments proposed to overcome work related stressors and associated mental illnesses inflicting law enforcement officers. Literature indicates that police officers benefit from interventions targeting work-related stress and potential psychological disorders, if these interventions are continuous. Research regarding the utility and effectiveness of interventions targeted toward the prevention and/or management of psychological disorders in law enforcement, the article concludes, is of the utmost important.

The goal of the present work was to explain how awareness of media perceptions, along with other impactful stressors, collectively, impacts an officer's mental health and overall well-being.

Researchers are increasingly conducting research using primary source data involving observation of, and exposure to, violent extremist individuals, their acts, their online content, and the ideologies that they act in support of. Of concern is that this increased use of primary source material has not occurred alongside a serious investigation of the traumatic outcomes that may result from constant exposure to such materials within the process of conducting academic research. The work domains of these articles ranged from drone warfare to digital forensics and interrogation interpreters. Overall, exposure to traumatic images, videos, and events is associated with burnout, secondary traumatic stress, turnover intentions, and a host of wider negative psychosocial outcomes. Furthermore, this process is impacted by several factors including the nature of the content, the wider organizational culture, and individual differences.
