The world faced a great health crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the health care providers struggled and faced tremendous difficulties in treating high-load critical patients. This was particularly true in low- and middle-income countries where the work and patient loads are always higher and nurses at the forefront must deal with emergencies while being at high risk of exposure. However, little is known about the survival strategies of frontline nurses as dealt with the pandemic.
This study catalogued the coping strategies of frontline nurses to deal with caring for the COVID-19 patients during the pandemic.
The Arksey O'Malley framework was followed to conduct a scoping review. A systematic literature search was conducted using three databases: Google Scholar, Scopus and PubMed; and out of the 192 studies, 12 met the inclusion criteria set for this review study.
A total of 44 strategies were identified that motivated nurses to deal with the COVID-19 situation, and these strategies could be categorized into five main themes: nurses' self-strategies, nurses' strategies at the ethical level, employers' strategies, nursing leaders' strategies and supplementary strategies.
The findings of this study will provide guidance for health care workers, employers, policymakers, regulators and other stakeholders to adopt and promote different strategies in managing difficult emergency situations in future.
This study emphasizes the importance of learning how to deal with adversity by health care workers and organizations in an emergency.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，世界面临着巨大的健康危机。因此，医护人员在治疗高负荷危重症患者时遇到了巨大困难。在中低收入国家尤其如此，那里的工作和患者负担总是更高，而处于前线的护士必须在高感染风险的情况下应对紧急情况。然而，对于一线护士在大流行期间应对的生存策略，人们知之甚少。
本研究总结了一线护士在大流行期间应对照顾 COVID-19 患者的应对策略。
遵循 Arksey O'Malley 框架进行范围综述。使用三个数据库（Google Scholar、Scopus 和 PubMed）进行系统文献检索；在 192 项研究中，有 12 项符合本综述研究设定的纳入标准。
共确定了 44 项激励护士应对 COVID-19 情况的策略，这些策略可分为五个主要主题：护士的自我策略、护士的伦理策略、雇主的策略、护理领导者的策略和补充策略。
本研究的结果将为卫生保健工作者、雇主、政策制定者、监管机构和其他利益相关者提供指导，以便在未来管理困难的紧急情况时采用和推广不同的策略。
本研究强调了医护人员和组织在紧急情况下学习如何应对逆境的重要性。
