Article Synopsis
- Nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic faced significant psychological distress and fear, which impacted their well-being and job performance.
- A study aimed to assess the level of fear and explore experiences related to COVID-19 among frontline nurses at a university hospital in the Philippines, using a mix of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.
- Findings revealed that nurses reported a high level of fear, influenced by personal connections to COVID-19 cases, and identified themes of balancing moral obligations, facing challenges, and demonstrating resilience in their roles.
Background: Nursing students experience higher stress and burnout compared to students in other health professions, with a prevalence rate of as high as 20%. More recently, they have been affected by changes in nursing education due to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as requirements for social isolation and distance learning. Although there are existing studies on interventions that address academic burnout among nursing students, there is no synthesis of randomized trials on this topic.
