During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses have had to face logistical problems related to critical changes in their work environment, the supply of personal protective equipment (PPE), and hard personal life decisions. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the working environment, PPE use, personal lives, and well-being as perceived by nurses in hospitals and primary care centers in Spain, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional survey study was conducted in April 2020, including 61 public and private hospitals, and 852 primary care centers. A total of 1296 nurses participated. The redeployment practice for organizational or vulnerability reasons was used by 26.4% of the participants. A total of 61.9% of the nurses doubled the time they used masks, and 8.3% of them could only replace the mask once a week. A total of 11.2% ( = 145) of the nurses left home to avoid infecting their family. Finally, 60.97% of the participants stated that their well-being was reduced compared to the state before the pandemic. Changes in the work environment, the use of PPE, and personal life may be related to the decrease in personal well-being perceived by the nurses.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，护士不得不面对与工作环境、个人防护设备 (PPE) 供应以及个人生活的重大变化相关的后勤问题。本研究旨在调查西班牙医院和初级保健中心的护士在 COVID-19 大流行期间对工作环境、PPE 使用、个人生活和幸福感的变化的看法。2020 年 4 月进行了一项描述性的横断面调查研究，包括 61 家公立和私立医院以及 852 家初级保健中心。共有 1296 名护士参加。出于组织或脆弱性原因的重新部署实践被 26.4%的参与者使用。共有 61.9%的护士使用口罩的时间增加了一倍，8.3%的护士每周只能更换一次口罩。共有 11.2%（=145）的护士离家出走以避免感染家人。最后，60.97%的参与者表示，与大流行前相比，他们的幸福感降低了。工作环境的变化、PPE 的使用和个人生活可能与护士感知到的个人幸福感下降有关。
