Two ad hoc questionnaires were designed to be administered online via Google Forms specifically to doctors and other healthcare workers; in total 577 people completed the online survey. One participant was excluded due to an excessive lack of demographic information, yielding a final sample of 576 participants. Both questionnaires consisted of 31 open/closed-ended questions dedicated to their emotional experience during the emergency. Here we analysed in particular the psychological impact. This was measured based on the prevalence of self-reported feelings during the pandemic, including negative and positive emotional states, such as loneliness, anxiety, irritability, sadness, tiredness, insecurity, apathy, intolerance, frustration, insomnia, fear, impatience, impotence, anger, resignation, pride, satisfaction, trust, hope, solidarity, quiet (“During the emergency, how often did you feel...”). The responses were scored on a four-point Likert scale, depending on the frequency of each feeling experienced (“Never or almost never”, “Sometimes”, “Often”, “Always or almost always”).
