Abstract
CHAPTER1: Healthcare workers (HCWs) include medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, who play significant roles in maintaining and improving the physical and emotional well-being of people. (Anand & Bärnighausen, 2012). Their services encompass prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, technical consultations, physical and psychological, conclusive tests, surgical and curative treatments (Shi & Singh, 2015). HCWs facilitate precautionary measures against infectious diseases, either in the form of vaccination programs, identification of infected people or reinforcing safety protocols (Kruk, Gage, Joseph, & Danaei, 2018). They are responsible for offering patient-focused or family-centered care, which promotes shared decision-making and collaboration between patients and healthcare providers for developing a comprehensive and customized care plan (Institute of Medicine, 2001). Educating and informing on healthier eating habits, and contributing to the advancement and development in medical science are their fields of expertise (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2020)............
