Description
Qingyu Li and colleagues studied in 2026 whether community health workers in China felt positive change after the COVID-19 pandemic. These workers ran local prevention work while keeping up routine primary care, under great strain. The team used both a survey and in-depth interviews in Shenzhen.
The survey covered six hundred thirty-four workers from fifty-one centers, and more than half reported moderate to high positive change. Such change tracked with positive coping, time spent thinking through hard events on purpose, and support from family. Interviews with twelve workers backed these points and added support at work. The authors urge programs that build coping and reflection, not just cut distress.
