It has long been known that nursing work is challenging and has the potential for negative impacts. During the COVID-19 pandemic most nurses' working landscapes altered dramatically and many faced unprecedented challenges. Resilience is a contested term that has been used with increasing prevalence in healthcare with health professionals encouraging a "tool-box" of stress management techniques and resilience-building skills. Drawing on narrative interview data ( = 27) from the Impact of Covid on Nurses (ICON) qualitative study we examine how nurses conceptualized resilience during COVID-19 and the impacts this had on their mental wellbeing. We argue here that it is paramount that nurses are not blamed for experiencing workplace stress when perceived not to be resilient "enough," particularly when expressing what may be deemed to be normal and appropriate reactions given the extreme circumstances and context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
长期以来，人们都知道护理工作具有挑战性，并且有可能产生负面影响。在新冠疫情期间，大多数护士的工作环境发生了巨大变化，许多人面临着前所未有的挑战。复原力是一个有争议的术语，在医疗保健领域的使用越来越普遍，健康专业人员鼓励使用一系列压力管理技巧和复原力培养技能。基于新冠疫情对护士影响（ICON）定性研究中的叙事访谈数据（n = 27），我们研究了护士在新冠疫情期间如何理解复原力以及这对他们心理健康的影响。我们在此认为，至关重要的是，当护士被认为“不够”有复原力而经历工作场所压力时，尤其是当他们在新冠疫情的极端情况和背景下表达可能被视为正常和适当的反应时，不应指责他们。
