BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic led to major changes in people's lives via protective strategies aimed at limiting the transmission of COVID-19, including social distancing, lockdowns, cancelled or limited leisure activities and tutorials and supervision for students taking place digital. All of these changes may have influenced students' health and quality of life. AIM: To describe and explore fear of COVID-19 and psychological distress, as well as general health and quality of life, among baccalaureate nursing students at 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic. METHOD: We used a mixed method study design, including quantitative data from University of Agder, data that was a part of a national survey of baccalaureate nursing students nearly one year into the pandemic. All the nursing students at the university were invited to take part between 27 January and 28 February 2021. The quantitative survey included 396 (out of total 858) baccalaureate nursing students (response rate: 46%). The quantitative data were collected using well-validated measures of fear of COVID-19, psychological distress, general health and quality of life, and the data were analysed using the ANOVA-tests for continuous data and chi-square tests for categorical data. Qualitative data were gathered from focus group interviews from the same university two-three months later. Five focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 23 students (7 men, 16 women). The qualitative data were analysed using systematic text condensation. RESULTS: The mean score (standard deviation [SD]) for fear of COVID-19 was 2.32 (0.71), for psychological distress was 1.53 (1.00), for general health was 3.51 (0.96) and for overall quality of life was 6.01 (2.06). In the qualitative data, we identified the overarching theme effect of COVID-19 on students' quality of life and the three main themes; importance of personal relations, physical health challenges and mental health challenges. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced negatively nursing students' quality of life and physical and mental health, and they often felt lonely. However, most of the participants also adapted strategies and resilience factors to cope with the situation. Via the pandemic situation, the students learned additional skills and mental mindsets that may be useful in their future professional lives.
背景:新冠疫情通过旨在限制新冠病毒传播的防护策略,给人们的生活带来了重大变化,这些策略包括社交距离、封锁、取消或限制休闲活动,以及对学生进行线上教学和监督。所有这些变化可能都影响了学生的健康和生活质量。 目的:描述和探讨新冠疫情爆发一年后,本科护理专业学生对新冠病毒的恐惧、心理困扰,以及总体健康状况和生活质量。 方法:我们采用了混合方法研究设计,包括来自阿格德大学的定量数据,这些数据是全国本科护理专业学生调查的一部分,当时疫情已持续近一年。2021年1月27日至2月28日期间,邀请了该大学所有护理专业学生参与。定量调查包括396名(总共858名中的)本科护理专业学生(回复率:46%)。使用经过充分验证的对新冠病毒恐惧、心理困扰、总体健康和生活质量的测量方法收集定量数据,并使用连续数据的方差分析测试和分类数据的卡方检验对数据进行分析。两三个月后,从同一所大学的焦点小组访谈中收集定性数据。进行了五次焦点小组访谈,共有23名学生(7名男性,16名女性)参与。使用系统文本浓缩法对定性数据进行分析。 结果:对新冠病毒恐惧的平均得分(标准差[SD])为2.32(0.71),心理困扰为1.53(1.00),总体健康为3.51(0.96),总体生活质量为6.01(2.06)。在定性数据中,我们确定了新冠疫情对学生生活质量的总体主题影响以及三个主要主题;人际关系的重要性、身体健康挑战和心理健康挑战。 结论:新冠疫情对护理专业学生的生活质量、身心健康产生了负面影响,他们经常感到孤独。然而,大多数参与者也采用了应对策略和适应力因素来应对这种情况。通过疫情,学生们学到了一些额外的技能和思维方式,这些在他们未来的职业生涯中可能会有用。
