Article Synopsis
- Increased awareness of stress and burnout among healthcare workers (HCWs) post-COVID-19 highlights the need for tailored support interventions, particularly for those in rural settings.
- A literature review identified 25 studies (out of 1,583 records) focusing on supportive interventions for rural HCWs, revealing their overall quality as weak to moderate, with common themes of shared decision making and effective supervision as promising strategies.
- The findings indicate a lack of funding and randomized studies, underscoring the necessity for larger, well-designed research to effectively support the well-being of rural HCWs.
