The objective of this multisite study was to explore the professional and personal experiences of US nurse managers (NMs) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
NMs are the most accessible and visible nurse leaders to the frontline staff during this pandemic.
Thirty-nine NMs from 5 health systems across the US participated in focus groups in this qualitative study. Data were analyzed using a constant comparative method.
Three major themes were identified: challenges, feelings and emotions, and coping. Subthemes emerged within each major theme.
NMs across the country accepted considerable responsibility at great professional and personal consequence during the pandemic. NMs experienced challenges, ethical dilemmas, and expressed negative emotions. As the usual coping strategies failed, NMs reported that they are considering alternative career choices. This work provided evidence to help senior leaders strategize about mechanisms for reducing managerial dissonance during times of stress.
这项多地点研究的目的是探讨美国护士经理（NM）在 COVID-19 大流行期间的专业和个人经历。
在这场大流行中，NM 是最接近和最能接触到一线工作人员的可及和可见的护士领导者。
这项定性研究中，来自美国 5 个卫生系统的 39 名 NM 参加了焦点小组。使用恒定性比较方法对数据进行分析。
确定了三个主要主题：挑战、感受和情绪以及应对。每个主要主题下都出现了子主题。
在大流行期间，全国范围内的 NM 承担了相当大的责任，付出了巨大的职业和个人代价。NM 经历了挑战、伦理困境，并表达了负面情绪。由于通常的应对策略失败，NM 报告说他们正在考虑其他职业选择。这项工作提供了证据，帮助高级领导人为减轻压力时期管理不和谐制定策略。
