Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we introduced a support system for health-care workers. Team members consist of doctors, nurses, public health nurses, and clinical psychologists. We normalized the anxiety and stress responses during the COVID-19 pandemic, enhanced self-care and care by the manager, and promoted daily meetings for peer support at work. In addition, we formed a consultation desk to deal with mental and physical care. While preparing for the next wave of COVID-19, it is necessary to continue our standard duties and maintain effective support system.
