The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) brought significant psychological implications for healthcare professionals We aimed to investigate the serial mediation effect of insomnia and exhaustion in the relationship between secondary traumatic stress (STS) and mental health complaints among the frontline healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic In this cross-sectional study, 126 frontline healthcare workers from Romania completed validated surveys between March and April 2020 PROCESS macros were used to test the proposed hypotheses of the three-path mediation model We computed the models for insomnia as the first mediator (M1) and exhaustion (M2) as our second mediator STS was significantly related to insomnia Insomnia was significantly related to exhaustion, and STS was positively related to exhaustion In the third model, exhaustion was strongly and positively related to mental health complaints The total indirect effect was positive, and the sequential indirect impact of STS on mental health complaints via both mediators in series (insomnia and exhaustion) was significant Secondary traumatic stress had a positive direct effect on mental health complaints In our limited sample, the results show that frontline medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak have high STS, which are related to mental health complaints through insomnia and exhaustion
