Anxiety among nurses attending patients at the forefront of the global coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic is on the rise. Accordingly, examining the psychological response of nurses who have attended COVID-19 patients is necessary. This study aimed to categorize and characterize the psychological responses of nurses who have experienced COVID-19 patient care based on the Q methodology. The Q-sample extracted 34 statements, and the P-sample marked 22 nurses who had operated a screening clinic and experienced patient care in the local base hospitals treating COVID-19 using convenience sampling. The findings suggest that nurses who have experienced COVID-19 patient care fall into three categories based on the following psychological responses: (1) fear of social stigma, (2) anxiety about the risk of infection, and (3) burden of infection prevention and control nursing. Therefore, it is expected that the results of this study may serve as the basis for emotional support programs that are capable of understanding and mediating the psychological state of nurses who care for patients with COVID-19.
在全球新型冠状病毒病-19（COVID-19）大流行中，处于前沿的医护人员的焦虑情绪正在上升。因此，有必要对护理 COVID-19 患者的护士的心理反应进行检查。本研究旨在基于 Q 方法对经历过 COVID-19 患者护理的护士的心理反应进行分类和描述。Q 样本提取了 34 个语句，P 样本采用方便抽样，选取了在当地治疗 COVID-19 的基地医院进行了筛查诊所并经历过患者护理的 22 名护士。研究结果表明，根据以下心理反应，经历过 COVID-19 患者护理的护士可分为三类：（1）害怕社会耻辱，（2）感染风险焦虑，（3）感染预防和控制护理负担。因此，预计本研究的结果可以作为情绪支持计划的基础，这些计划能够理解和调解护理 COVID-19 患者的护士的心理状态。
