Abstract
International study (n=1,556 HCWs from 45 countries) on perceived stress, depression, and sleep changes during the first pandemic phase. Approximately half showed moderate levels of stress and depressive symptoms. Factors linked to worse outcomes: female sex, not having children, living with parents, lower education, and lower social support. HCWs reported more perceived support than the project's general population.
