Abstract

The objective of this systematic rapid review is to assess the effects of long COVID among healthcare workers and its impact on their self-reported health status, professional working lives, personal circumstances and use of health services. A range of clinical and social science databases will be searched, including MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ASSIA. Eligible studies will be those assessing i) the experiences and views of healthcare workers with symptoms of long COVID as well as ii) the impact of long COVID symptoms on health status, working performance, personal circumstances and use of healthcare resources. The eligible population will be healthcare workers with symptoms of long COVID. All clinical and non-clinical staff will be eligible for inclusion, for example, cleaners, domestic staff, receptionists, estate workers.
