The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted graduate nursing students at work, home, and school. Stress can influence the ability to focus, study, and may delay continuation in graduate school.
The purpose of this study was to identify the stressors of graduate nursing students during the pandemic.
A prospective, descriptive, online survey design was used to identify graduate nursing student stressors during the pandemic at one educational institution in the United States. Questions related to employment, COVID-19 exposure, institutional support, future graduate plans were summarized for the total sample and stratified by program (MS, DNP, PhD). Changes in a total stress score were evaluated pre and post onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A total of 222 graduate nursing students completed the survey. The vast majority of students were employed before the pandemic and a significant decrease in employment occurred during the pandemic (97.3% to 90.1%, p < .001). Overall stress increased (p < .001). The increased total stress was associated with students participating in clinical rotations (q = 0.024) and having a change in work hours (q = 0.022).
Nursing schools need to address graduate student concerns during the pandemic, including having clear communication platforms and offering support services.
新冠疫情对在职、居家和在校的护理学研究生产生了深远影响。压力会影响注意力、学习能力，可能还会延迟研究生学业的继续推进。
本研究旨在确定疫情期间护理学研究生面临的压力源。
采用前瞻性、描述性在线调查设计，以确定美国一所教育机构中疫情期间护理学研究生的压力源。对与就业、新冠病毒暴露、机构支持、未来研究生计划相关的问题进行汇总，涵盖整个样本，并按项目（理学硕士、护理学博士、哲学博士）分层。评估新冠疫情暴发前后总压力得分的变化。
共有222名护理学研究生完成了调查。绝大多数学生在疫情前有工作，疫情期间就业人数显著减少（从97.3%降至90.1%，p<0.001）。总体压力增加（p<0.001）。总压力增加与参与临床轮转的学生（q=0.024）以及工作时间变化有关（q=0.022）。
护理学院需要在疫情期间解决研究生的担忧，包括建立清晰的沟通平台并提供支持服务。
