OBJECTIVES: To assess public health workers' mental well-being and emotional needs; evaluate resource gaps and needs for public health workers since the COVID-19 pandemic; formulate and predict professional/personal strategies to support workers in future pandemics.
METHODS: Between 2021 and 2022, qualitative data were collected via Qualtrics survey and focus groups from Connecticut public health workers (N = 132) with 3 question areas: (1) challenges experienced during the pandemic; (2) professional/personal needs; and (3) recommendations for how governing organizations can support workers. Thematic and content analyses were performed using NVivo-12 software.
RESULTS: Participants reported experiencing gaps in knowledge and response strategies, lack of support, and shortages in staffing and grant spending. Challenges included concerns over personal safety, job security, post-traumatic stress disorder, and feelings of guilt and burnout.
CONCLUSION: Governing agencies were limited in their ability to supply resources to struggling employees. Results from this study, and recommendations from health workers, should be integrated into response for future pandemics.
