Factors influencing fatigue in UK nurses working in respiratory clinical areas during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic: An online survey.

Aims And Objectives: This study explores UK nurses' experiences of working in a respiratory clinical area during the COVID-19 pandemic over winter 2020.

Background: During the first wave of the pandemic, nurses working in respiratory clinical areas experienced significant levels of anxiety and depression. As the pandemic has progressed, levels of fatigue in nurses have not been assessed.

Experiences of nurses caring for respiratory patients during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic: an online survey study.

Background: Nurses have been at the forefront of the pandemic response, involved in extensive coordination of services, screening, vaccination and front-line work in respiratory, emergency and intensive care environments. The nature of this work is often intense and stress-provoking with an inevitable psychological impact on nurses and all healthcare workers. This study focused on nurses working in respiratory areas with the aim of identifying and characterising the self-reported issues that exacerbated or alleviated their concerns during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Specialist respiratory outreach: a case-finding initiative for identifying undiagnosed COPD in primary care.

COPD remains largely undiagnosed or is diagnosed late in the course of disease. We report findings of a specialist outreach programme to identify undiagnosed COPD in primary care. An electronic case-finding algorithm identified 1602 at-risk patients from 12 practices who were invited to attend the clinic.

Case-finding for COPD clinic acceptability to patients in GPs across Hampshire: a qualitative study.

Despite high mortality and morbidity, COPD remains under-diagnosed. Case-finding strategies are possible, but patients' perspectives are unexplored. Using qualitative methods, we explored the patient perspective of a case-finding intervention among at-risk patients in primary care.
