The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a shortage of health care staff, forcing the hiring of senior nursing students.
To describe the psychosocial impact and coping strategies used by nursing students during the first outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and to understand the coping strategies they employed.
A qualitative exploratory study was conducted, based on Sandelowski's proposal. Purposive sampling was carried out to recruit 18 students hired during the pandemic. The students were interviewed between 18 March and 15 June 2020. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a digital platform. An inductive thematic analysis was performed.
The students lived alone and isolated during their contract to protect their cohabitants from possible contagion. The impact of working during the pandemic leads to experiences of stress, insomnia, nightmares and anxiety. Nursing students coped with the emotional burden through mental disconnection and the support of co-workers and family members.
Psychological support and tutoring should be provided by health centres. In addition, in these special circumstances, universities should adapt the training provided.

学生们在合同期间独居并隔离，以保护他们的同居者免受可能的感染。在大流行期间工作的影响导致学生们经历了压力、失眠、噩梦和焦虑。护理学生通过精神上的分离以及同事和家庭成员的支持来应对情绪负担。
卫生中心应提供心理支持和辅导。此外，在这种特殊情况下，大学应调整所提供的培训。
