To describe the self-reported mental health of nurses from 35 countries who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There is little occupationally specific data about nurses' mental health worldwide. Studies have documented the impact on nurses' mental health of the COVID-19 pandemic, but few have baseline referents.
A descriptive, cross-sectional design structured the study. Data reflect a convenience sample of 9,387 participants who completed the opt-in survey between July 31, 2022, and October 31, 2023. Descriptive statistics were run to analyze the following variables associated with mental health: Self-reports of mental health symptoms, burnout, personal losses during the pandemic, access to mental health services, and self-care practices used to cope with pandemic-related stressors. Reporting of this study was steered by the STROBE guideline for quantitative studies.
Anxiety or depression occurred at rates ranging from 23%-61%, with country-specific trends in reporting observed. Approximately 18% of the sample reported experiencing some symptoms of burnout. The majority of nurses' employers did not provide mental health support in the workplace. Most reported more frequently engaging with self-care practices compared with before the pandemic. Notably, 20% of nurses suffered the loss of a family member, 35% lost a friend, and 34% a coworker due to COVID-19. Nearly half (48%) reported experiencing public aggression due to their identity as a nurse.
The data obtained establish a basis for understanding the specific mental health needs of the nursing workforce globally, highlighting key areas for service development.
Healthcare organizations and governmental bodies need to develop targeted mental health support programs that are readily accessible to nurses to foster a resilient nursing workforce.
描述在新冠疫情期间工作的来自35个国家的护士自我报告的心理健康状况。
全球范围内关于护士心理健康的特定职业数据很少。已有研究记录了新冠疫情对护士心理健康的影响,但很少有基线参考数据。
本研究采用描述性横断面设计。数据反映了2022年7月31日至2023年10月31日期间完成自愿参与调查的9387名参与者的便利样本。进行描述性统计以分析与心理健康相关的以下变量:心理健康症状的自我报告、职业倦怠、疫情期间的个人损失、获得心理健康服务的情况以及用于应对与疫情相关压力源的自我护理措施。本研究的报告遵循定量研究的STROBE指南。
焦虑或抑郁的发生率在23%至61%之间,各国报告呈现出特定趋势。约18%的样本报告有职业倦怠的一些症状。大多数护士的雇主未在工作场所提供心理健康支持。与疫情前相比,大多数人报告更频繁地采取自我护理措施。值得注意的是,20%的护士因新冠疫情失去了家庭成员,35%失去了朋友,34%失去了同事。近一半(48%)的人报告因护士身份遭受公众攻击。
所获得的数据为了解全球护理人员的特定心理健康需求奠定了基础,突出了服务发展的关键领域。
医疗保健组织和政府机构需要制定护士可随时获得的针对性心理健康支持计划,以培养有复原力的护理人员队伍。
