The COVID-19 pandemic initiated a period of new and difficult challenges for nursing students.
The aim of this study was to assess the change in levels of anxiety and ways of coping when the lockdown was being lifted compared with the period of the most severe lockdown restrictions.
First- to fourth-year nursing students in Israel (N = 244) completed 2 surveys conducted during the initial lockdown and 5 weeks later.
When the restrictions were lightened, the mean anxiety score decreased from 9.3 to 7.5 (P < .0001). Among Muslims students, the trend was the opposite, and anxiety levels increased. Stronger resilience was associated with lower odds for anxiety. Mental disengagement and information seeking were associated with higher anxiety levels.
The pandemic created unparalleled stressful situations for nursing students. Faculty should have heightened awareness of these stressors and act to implement innovative resolutions for the problems that arise.
新冠疫情给护理专业的学生带来了一段充满挑战的时期。
本研究旨在评估封锁解除后与最严重封锁限制期间相比，学生焦虑水平和应对方式的变化。
以色列的一至四年级护理专业学生（N=244）完成了两次调查，分别在最初的封锁期间和 5 周后进行。
当限制放宽时，平均焦虑评分从 9.3 降至 7.5（P<.0001）。在穆斯林学生中，趋势正好相反，焦虑水平上升。更强的适应力与较低的焦虑几率相关。精神脱离和寻求信息与更高的焦虑水平相关。
疫情给护理专业的学生带来了前所未有的压力。教师应该更加关注这些压力源，并采取行动，为出现的问题制定创新的解决方案。
