Abstract

Health care workers worldwide are faced with unprecedented challenges brought upon by Covid 19 pandemic. High workloads, anxiety, stress and occupational burnout are severely affecting health care workers’ psychological wellbeing. There is a pressing need for comprehensive steps to safeguard the wellbeing of the healthcare workers. The present study will develop and validate a conceptual model for investigating the predictors (workload, social support, and coping styles) of health care worker’s psychological wellbeing in Malaysia’s public sector healthcare. This study will focus on nurses working at government hospitals in Peninsular Malaysia as the source of data collection as government hospitals are the primary source of health care for most Malaysians. Understanding the linkages between the predictors of healthcare workers psychological wellbeing is essential as it all leads to the quality of health care provide and patient safety outcomes.
