Background: The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on health care workers' mental health, in particular, cannot be ignored.

A systematic review of quantitative and qualitative data was combined with new insights from an adolescents and young adults lived-experience panel (n = 7) with the intention to combine rigorous systematic review methods and experiential knowledge.
