Abstract


The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of health workers. The pandemic situation has affected health workers physically and mentally. Inadequate knowledge about COVID-19 and fear of new diseases have the potential to cause stigma. Health workers exposed to COVID-19 while carrying out their duties are also stigmatized. This article aims to identify the stigma experienced by health workers due to COVID-19. EBSCO and ProQuest electronic database searches used search terms and found 10 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Two themes were found: the causes of stigma and the impact of stigma on health workers. The results of the review found that the stigma experienced had an impact on the mental health condition of health workers and affected the quality of professional work. It is imperative to undertake initiatives aimed at mitigating the stigma experienced by healthcare professionals in order to uphold their mental well-being and ensure their sustained professional performance.
