This study investigates the mental health impact of work-related stress on healthcare workers who cared for victims of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, specifically examining symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The findings indicate that higher work-related stress is significantly associated with increased symptoms of depression and PTSD, while healthcare workers reported greater depression and lower anxiety compared to the general population.
