2020 has certainly been a year of challenges for nurses and healthcare workers around the world with the relentless spread of COVID-19. These challenges are many, including countries and health systems not being prepared for a pandemic, shortages of personal protective equipment and acute shortages of nurses, poor communication from governments and the lack of accurate data regarding COVID-19 morbidity and mortality among nurses and health workers. Nurses are suffering from psychological distress and are exhausted and burntout as the pandemic's second wave moves around the world. Many have been subjected to violence and aggression from people in their communities. Against this backdrop, nurses' contributions have been vital in saving lives and the profession has learnt many powerful lessons that will resonate in nursing practice for the future. But governments must do more, including ensuring nurses receive vaccinations early to protect them when a successful vaccine becomes available.
2020 年无疑是全球护士和医护人员面临挑战的一年，新冠疫情肆虐不止。这些挑战包括各国和卫生系统对大流行没有做好准备、个人防护设备短缺、护士严重短缺、政府沟通不畅以及有关新冠病毒在护士和卫生工作者中的发病率和死亡率的准确数据缺乏等。随着疫情在全球进入第二波，护士们承受着心理困扰，身心俱疲。许多护士遭受了社区民众的暴力和侵犯。在这种背景下，护士的贡献对于拯救生命至关重要，而且该行业已经吸取了许多强有力的经验教训，这些经验教训将在未来的护理实践中产生共鸣。但各国政府必须采取更多措施，包括确保护士在获得成功疫苗时尽早接种，以保护他们。
