ROMERO-HEREDIA, NATHALY ALEJANDRA e GUARNIZO-CHAVEZ, ANDRÉS JOAQUÍN. Psychological first aid teaching and training for healthcare professionals. Its importance in the COVID-19 context. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2022, vol.47, n.3, pp.1-. Epub 24-Abr-2023. ISSN 0120-2448. https://doi.org/10.36104/amc.2022.2234.
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made us reflect on, among other things, the evident failures of the healthcare system, including the gaps detected in undergraduate and graduate training. One of the points that must be strengthened includes teaching psychological first aid as a humanitarian support technique for people in crisis situations. As has been shown in the context of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, there is a high psychosocial and emotional component that must be treated by the professional who has the first contact with the affected person. The importance of including psychological first aid in healthcare training, then, is for all staff responding to the emergency to be able to implement it, and not necessarily and exclusively a psychologist.
