The rapid increase in inpatients during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic acutely increased the workload of physicians and nurses caring for severely ill patients. Moreover, family visits were restricted for infection control purposes, and family members were unable to be briefed regarding a patient's condition because they tested positive or they had been in close contact with an infectious patient, thus increasing the burden on the patient's family and the medical staff. Therefore, our psychiatric liaison team intervened by attending briefing sessions for family members and online patient visits while also conducting sessions to provide information about mental health and relaxation sessions for the hospital's nurses to reduce their burden as much as possible. These efforts provided mental support for the patients' families while also reducing the challenges of and the burden on medical staff. If the number of severely ill patients increases rapidly and the burden on patients' families and medical staff increases, then we hope that these efforts will help to provide better psychological support to both families and staff.
