Mental fatigue (MF) was a major challenge for nurses during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Nurses' sense of responsibility towards their patients and societies may influence their MF. This study aimed to assess the relationship between MF and social responsibility (SR) among nurses who provided care to patients with COVID-19.
This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2021. Participants were 258 nurses randomly selected from eleven COVID-19 care hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected using three self-report instruments, namely a demographic questionnaire, the Mental Fatigue Scale, and the Social Responsibility Questionnaire. The SPSS software (v. 16.0) was used to analyze the data at a significance level of less than 0.05.
The mean scores of MF and SR were 31.73 ± 7.35 and 3.45 ± 0.35, respectively. The highest and the lowest scored SR subscales were ethical responsibilities with a mean of 3.67 ± 0.42 and economic responsibilities with a mean of 2.93 ± 0.62. MF had a significant negative correlation with legal responsibilities and a significant positive correlation with economic responsibilities (P < 0.05). The only significant predictor of SR was financial status which significantly predicted 4.3% of the variance of SR (P < 0.05).
More than half of the nurses who provided care to patients with COVID-19 suffered from MF and their mental fatigue had a significant correlation with their legal and economic responsibilities. Healthcare authorities and policymakers need to develop programs to reduce nurses' MF and improve their satisfaction.
在2019冠状病毒病（COVID - 19）大流行期间，精神疲劳是护士面临的一项重大挑战。护士对患者和社会的责任感可能会影响其精神疲劳。本研究旨在评估为COVID - 19患者提供护理的护士中精神疲劳与社会责任之间的关系。
这项横断面描述性分析研究于2021年进行。参与者是从伊朗德黑兰的11家COVID - 19护理医院中随机选取的258名护士。使用三份自我报告工具收集数据，即一份人口统计学调查问卷、精神疲劳量表和社会责任问卷。使用SPSS软件（版本16.0）在显著性水平小于0.05的情况下对数据进行分析。
精神疲劳和社会责任的平均得分分别为31.73±7.35和3.45±0.35。社会责任得分最高和最低的子量表分别是伦理责任，平均分为3.67±0.42，以及经济责任，平均分为2.93±0.62。精神疲劳与法律责任呈显著负相关，与经济责任呈显著正相关（P < 0.05）。社会责任的唯一显著预测因素是财务状况，它显著预测了社会责任方差的4.3%（P < 0.05）。
为COVID - 19患者提供护理的护士中，超过一半患有精神疲劳，且他们的精神疲劳与法律和经济责任显著相关。卫生保健当局和政策制定者需要制定计划来减轻护士的精神疲劳并提高他们的满意度。
