Background: The Covid-19 Pandemic has had a significant impact on psychophysical well-being and the ability to work
productively in contexts concerning people\u27s physical and mental care. The helping professions involved have seen an increase in
stress levels, a sense of helplessness, fear, pain and social isolation. They are anchored to the hope of being able to return to
their normality.
Method: In this study, 87 mental health operators were evaluated, divided into nurses, psychiatric rehabilitation technicians,
educators, social workers, psychologists and doctors, working in two psychiatric care rehabilitation communities in Puglia and
Campania in southern Italy.
Results: The results obtained with the administration of the scales ProQOL, BHS, Save-9, BDI-II, BEES reported a remarkable
impact in nursing and medical professions due to the pandemic. A 11%. burn-out was reported by nurses.
Conclusions: The collected data are comparable to the previous work (Franza et al. 2015, 2020); however, there is no evidence
of a high level of burnout in the helping professions involved in this study
