AB In December 2019, a new virus called SARS-CoV-2 appeared, and the disease it producedwas named COVID-19. After the pandemic situation was declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020, an increasing worsening of the mental health of the population, especiallyhealthcare professionals, became apparent. To determine the psychosocial impact of the pandemicon healthcare professionals in Spain, a longitudinal study was conducted at two time points separated by 5 weeks (n time 1 = 169; n time 2 = 65). Participants completed an online questionnaireassessing depression, anxiety, and stress (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, DASS-21), burnout(Maslach Burnout Inventory—MBI), resilience (Brief Resilience Scale—BRS), and health-relatedquality of life (SF-36 Health Questionnaire). The results showed high levels of depression, anxiety,stress, and burnout, as well as moderate levels of resilience and low levels of quality of life at thefirst assessment. Resilience was negatively related to negative experiences, and positively relatedto the quality of life, also at the first assessment. Overall, there was an improvement in the mentalhealth of healthcare professionals when comparing the two assessments. In this improvement,having COVID-19 in the first assessment had a positive effect on perceived mental health in thesecond assessment.
