The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the well-being of nursing professionals, especially long-term and acute care nurses, many of whom are nurses of color.
We examine the evidence and gaps in the literature addressing psychological well-being of racial/ethnic minority RNs in the United States during COVID-19.
We searched eight databases during March 2022 and used Joanna Briggs' Scoping Review Methodology and PRISMA-ScR reporting standards.
Seven studies met inclusion criteria. Two exclusively examined nurses; five reported findings from heterogeneous samples of health care workers. No significant racial/ethnic differences in well-being were reported among health care workers. Among nurses, if a difference existed, White nurses reported decreased psychological well-being relative to ethnic and racial minority nurses. Two studies report modest racial/ethnic differences in nurses' psychological well-being.
Significant gaps in the literature remain; future studies should analyze groups of health care workers separately, clearly identify racial and ethnic groups, and examine the role of respondents' work setting.
COVID-19 大流行影响了护理专业人员的健康福祉，尤其是长期和急性护理护士，其中许多人是有色人种护士。
我们研究了在 COVID-19 期间针对美国少数族裔注册护士心理健康的文献中的证据和差距。
我们于 2022 年 3 月在八个数据库中进行了搜索，并使用了 Joanna Briggs 范围审查方法和 PRISMA-ScR 报告标准。
有七项研究符合纳入标准。其中两项专门研究了护士；五项报告了来自医疗保健工作者异质样本的发现。在医疗保健工作者中，没有报告幸福感存在显著的种族/民族差异。在护士中，如果存在差异，与少数民族和少数族裔护士相比，白人护士报告的心理健康水平下降。有两项研究报告了护士心理健康方面存在适度的种族/民族差异。
文献中仍存在显著差距；未来的研究应分别分析医疗保健工作者群体，明确确定种族和族裔群体，并研究受访者工作环境的作用。
