Distribution of some of the major stressors at work during the study period. Fear of contracting the infection and perceived inadequacy of PPE were considered the major stressors by the RW during the study period. Compared to the therapeutic RW, a significantly higher proportion of the diagnostic RW identified fear of being infected as a major stressor (166/412 (40.3%) vs 30/110 (27.3%), p = 0.01). However, compared to the diagnostic RW, a significantly higher proportion of the therapeutic RW were concerned about staff testing for COVID-19 (19/110 (17.3%) vs 39/412 (9.5%), p = 0.02). Other issues here, is inclusive of neutral and/or negative comments/responses in nature.
