Health crises across the globe bring dramatic changes to the lives of individuals and organizations. These crises have some psychological effects on society. The COVID-19 pandemic also caused some serious problems for individual and organizational life. Globally, the COVID-19 situation precipitated various economic and psychological issues that are far-reaching and exceptional. Health crises are increasing following the occurrence of COVID-19 due to its psychological effects on individuals worldwide. The current study highlighted the impact of COVID-19 fear on mental well-being (MWB). Most studies have examined the MWB of nursing staff and related their MWB to psychological factors. Few studies have considered the health crisis factors that are important in terms of bringing about variation in the MWB of nursing staff. Nursing staff MWB is impacted by various health crises (including COVID-19) at the global level and it has been ignored by researchers. In this study, a list of 1940 healthcare units with 6758 nursing staff was obtained. A total of 822 nurses were selected with the help of random sampling. The collected data were analyzed using correlation analysis, SPSS (statistical package for social sciences) version 23, and SEM. Thus, in this study we examined the effect of a health crisis (i.e., COVID-19) fear on the MWB of nurses. Moreover, we also examined the extent to which perceived stress (PS) influences the link between COVID-19 fear and MWB. The study's findings confirmed that COVID-19 fear shown negative effect on MWB, while PS mediated the link between COVID-19 fear and MWB.
全球范围内的健康危机给个人和组织的生活带来了巨大变化。这些危机对社会产生了一些心理影响。新冠疫情也给个人和组织生活带来了一些严重问题。在全球范围内，新冠疫情引发了各种深远且特殊的经济和心理问题。由于新冠疫情对全球个人的心理影响，健康危机在其发生后不断增加。当前的研究突出了对新冠疫情的恐惧对心理健康的影响。大多数研究考察了护理人员的心理健康，并将他们的心理健康与心理因素联系起来。很少有研究考虑到在导致护理人员心理健康变化方面很重要的健康危机因素。护理人员的心理健康在全球范围内受到各种健康危机（包括新冠疫情）的影响，而这一点一直被研究人员忽视。在本研究中，获取了一份包含1940个医疗单位及6758名护理人员的名单。借助随机抽样共选取了822名护士。使用相关分析、社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）23版和结构方程模型对收集到的数据进行了分析。因此，在本研究中，我们考察了对健康危机（即新冠疫情）的恐惧对护士心理健康的影响。此外，我们还考察了感知压力在多大程度上影响了对新冠疫情的恐惧与心理健康之间的联系。研究结果证实，对新冠疫情的恐惧对心理健康有负面影响，而感知压力在对新冠疫情的恐惧与心理健康之间的联系中起中介作用。
