Nurses and nursing students experienced an emotional burden while working during the COVID-19 outbreak. During the COVID-19 outbreak three questions for nurses working under these extreme circumstances were formulated: 1. What today's events do you remember? 2. How do you feel (physically and mentally)? 3. Do you have enough support? The purpose of this study was to obtain insight into whether nurses and nursing students perceive that the use of the three-questions-method contributes to effective coping with the emotional burden during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Focus group interviews were held with hospital nurses (n = 11) and nursing students with internships in mental health care (n = 2), hospital (n = 9), and homecare/nursing home care (n = 3) in September 2020 followed by twenty semi-structured interviews one year later.
Almost all nurses and nursing students named factors that contributed to the emotional burden: fear, powerlessness, frustration, lack of knowledge about COVID-19, and pressure to pass the internship. Participants indicated that using the three-questions-method can help to effectively cope with the emotional burden during and after the COVID-19 outbreak.
Using the three-questions-method offers added value in coping with emotional burden and can be used in education as well as in practice.
在 COVID-19 爆发期间，护士和护理学生在工作时经历了情感负担。在 COVID-19 爆发期间，针对在这些极端情况下工作的护士提出了三个问题：1. 您还记得今天发生的事情吗？2. 您的身心感觉如何？3. 您是否得到足够的支持？本研究的目的是了解护士和护理学生是否认为使用三问法有助于有效应对 COVID-19 爆发期间的情感负担。
2020 年 9 月，对在精神卫生保健（n=2）、医院（n=9）和家庭护理/疗养院（n=3）实习的医院护士（n=11）和护理学生进行了焦点小组访谈，随后在一年后进行了二十次半结构化访谈。
几乎所有的护士和护理学生都提到了导致情感负担的因素：恐惧、无力感、挫败感、对 COVID-19 的知识不足以及实习压力。参与者表示，使用三问法可以帮助有效应对 COVID-19 爆发期间和之后的情感负担。
使用三问法在应对情绪负担方面具有附加价值，可用于教育和实践。
