Nurses exposed to COVID-19 could be psychologically stressed. The present study investigated the mental health and the resilience level in the nurses' population. This cross-sectional study was performed on 432 nurses in 27 hospitals working in Guilan province, north of Iran, between April 29, to May 14, 2020. Mental health and resilience were measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). Hierarchical multiple linear regression model was used to identify factors associated with mental health. The mean GHQ-12 and CD-RISC-10 scores were 15.72 (SD, 5.67) and 25.97 (SD, 6.88), respectively. Probable psychological distress (GHQ-12 score ≥ 15) was present in 57.2% of nurses. Among demographic and COVID-19-related variables, only educational level was significantly and negatively correlated with mental health. After controlling the variables, hierarchical regression analyses results showed that lower resilience was associated with poor mental health (β = -0.49; P < 0.001). Regarding the nurses' mental health, appropriate psychological/psychiatric intervention is necessary, and resilience can play a role as a mental health promoter.
接触过新型冠状病毒肺炎的护士可能会面临心理压力。本研究调查了护士群体的心理健康状况和心理韧性水平。这项横断面研究于2020年4月29日至5月14日在伊朗北部吉兰省的27家医院的432名护士中进行。使用12项一般健康问卷-12（GHQ-12）和10项康纳-戴维森心理韧性量表（CD-RISC-10）来测量心理健康和心理韧性。采用分层多元线性回归模型来确定与心理健康相关的因素。GHQ-12和CD-RISC-10的平均得分分别为15.72（标准差为5.67）和25.97（标准差为6.88）。57.2%的护士存在可能的心理困扰（GHQ-12得分≥15）。在人口统计学和与新型冠状病毒肺炎相关的变量中，只有教育水平与心理健康显著负相关。在控制变量后，分层回归分析结果显示，较低的心理韧性与较差的心理健康相关（β=-0.49；P<0.001）。关于护士的心理健康，需要进行适当的心理/精神干预，心理韧性可以作为心理健康促进因素发挥作用。
