- ist
Dr. Mykale Elbe, director of the MSN Nurse Practitioner Program and assistant professor of nursing at Maryville University in Town and Country, Missouri, told Fox News Digital that she’s “not surprised by these findings.” She was not involved with the study.
In terms of mental health, Elbe pointed out that millennials and younger generations are “breaking down the stigma,” which is leading to more symptom awareness and sought-after help from healthcare providers.
“Since the pandemic, healthcare providers in all settings have seen a surge in patients having mental health disorders and seeking help. This surge will decrease as we move toward the post-pandemic period, but that has yet to be seen.” She explained.
“With the pandemic and (with) everyone being aware of upper respiratory symptoms, we continue to see a spike in healthcare utilization for minor disorders, as we have now trained the public that if you cough, you should be tested for COVID-19," she added.
Overall, Elbe said she is concerned with the amount of healthcare utilization and costs among millennials, as well as issues around provider shortages "With these shortages, we are seeing longer wait times for patients to be seen by healthcare providers.”
