Trusting in times of the COVID-19 crisis: Workplace and government trust and depressive symptoms among healthcare workers. Cambridge Prisms: Global Mental Health, 12, e130. https://doi.org/10.1017/gmh.2025.100672054-425110.1017/gmh.2025.10067https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16526Previous research has highlighted the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ (HCWs) mental health, yet protective factors remain underexplored. Emerging studies emphasize the importance of trust in government and interpersonal relationships in reducing infections and fostering positive vaccine attitudes. This study investigates the relationship between HCWs’ trust in the workplace and government and depressive symptoms during the pandemic. Promoting trust may help mitigate the mental health impact of future crises on HCWs.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal articleopen accessCiencias médicasPsicología socialPolítica de la saludGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for allGoal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
