HEROES-SPA: Healthcare Worker Mental Health and Psychological Support During COVID-19

HEROES is a longitudinal observational study describing mental health outcomes among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset allows replication of models from a manuscript accepted for publication in PlosONE, exploring the use of psychological interventions over a 2-year period. The study involves over 20 countries, including Spain, and the dataset is curated by Roberto Mediavilla Torres.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between pandemic exposures and mental health outcomes based on the longitudinal study design.
• Analyzing trends in the use of psychological interventions among healthcare workers over a 2-year period.
• Replicating statistical models from the associated PlosONE manuscript for validation or extension.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design tracking outcomes over a 2-year period following the pandemic.
• Study protocol is published and available via DOI, providing methodological transparency.
• Analytic code is uploaded alongside the data, facilitating reproducibility.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Data is specific to healthcare workers and the COVID-19 context, which may limit generalizability.
