The COVID-19 frontline nurses' stress-reduction programme by the cooperation of manager with the nurses is not-well developed.
This study aimed to examine the effect of an emergency nurse-led stress-reduction project on reducing stress levels during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The action research was conducted using online and person-to-person group brainstorming strategies. The online survey was used to evaluate emergency nurses' stress levels, causes of stress and needs at the 50th, 80th and 110th days of the pandemic from March to May 2020.
The numbers of nurses participating in three-time survey were 160, 166 and 160, respectively. There was a decrease in the nurses' work-related stress after implementing the improvement strategies. Stress from personal protective equipment (PPE), information about infection control and family's worry about being infected reduced across 2 months. Needs regarding PPE, COVID-19 information and a forum for sharing experiences of COVID-19 care decreased whereas needs of allowing more days off increased.
The stress-reduction project targeting at nurses' views of their needs can reduce their stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The online and person-to-person group brainstorming building a good partnership between nurses and managers can be an effective nursing management.
在 COVID-19 前线,由护士长与护士合作开展的减压项目并不完善。
本研究旨在探讨由急诊护士主导的减压项目对减轻 COVID-19 大流行期间护士压力水平的效果。
采用在线和面对面小组头脑风暴策略进行行动研究。在线调查用于评估 2020 年 3 月至 5 月 COVID-19 大流行第 50、80 和 110 天期间急诊护士的压力水平、压力源和需求。
三次调查参与护士人数分别为 160、166 和 160。实施改进策略后,护士的工作相关压力有所减轻。与个人防护设备(PPE)、感染控制信息和对家人感染的担忧相关的压力在 2 个月内有所降低。与 PPE、COVID-19 信息和分享 COVID-19 护理经验的论坛相关的需求减少,而允许更多休假的需求增加。
针对护士对需求的看法开展的减压项目可以减轻 COVID-19 大流行期间护士的压力。
在线和面对面小组头脑风暴建立了护士和管理者之间的良好伙伴关系,这可能是一种有效的护理管理策略。
