Elevated psychological stress reactions among healthcare workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic necessitated a need to better understand their possible impact on sickness absence (SA). The study aimed to describe the relation between SA related to mental health problems and symptoms of psychological stress among healthcare workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We further aimed to identify whether latent profiles of psychological stress reactions exist within the same population. In this observational registry‐based study, survey data between May 2020 and March 2021 and SA register data between May 2019 and February 2023 were collected from 1245 Swedish healthcare workers. Differences between symptoms of burnout, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep disturbance, lack of detachment, and lack of recovery among groups with no, few
