During the COVID-19 pandemic, health workers on a remote Taiwanese island faced stress from exposure to infectious diseases, heavy workloads, ethical dilemmas, and unfamiliar pandemic-related problems. These stressors led to worry, anxiety, and depression, harming their mental and physical health and patient care. The study, based on in-depth interviews, suggests that mindfulness-based stress reduction and protecting mental health are important for these workers.
