“…Stress may lead individuals to experience higher levels of burnout. Although limited, several studies have provided evidence regarding a positive association between stress and burnout related to the current pandemic among healthcare professionals (Morgantini et al, 2020;Sung et al, 2020;Talaee et al, 2020). However, evidence from those previous studies were on healthcare workers and thus their findings may not be replicable on the general public.…”

“…A study of healthcare professionals showed a significant positive relationship between stress and burnout (Morgantini et al, 2020). Another study investigating the relationship between burnout, anxiety, and stress disorders during COVID-19 pandemic indicated that doctors and nurses experienced high levels of mental health problems including burnout (Sung et al, 2020). Bradley and Chahar (2020) suggested the importance of taking healthcare professionals' mental health into account during the pandemic to boost productivity and reduce burnout derived from pandemic related stress and uncertainty.…”

2020

This study validated a 10-item COVID-19 Burnout Scale (COVID-19-BS) to measure burnout associated with COVID-19. Participants were 402 Turkish adults (76.4% female; Mean age ¼ 27.37 ± 8.90). Factor analytic approach yielded a one-factor solution, with high internal consistency reliability. Mediation analysis showed that COVID-19 stress predicted resilience and COVID-19 burnout. Resilience predicted COVID-19 burnout. The relationship between COVID-19 burnout and COVID-19 stress was partially mediated by resilience. Findings suggest that the COVID-19-BS is a psychometrically sound scale to measure burnout related to COVID-19. Findings also elucidate our understanding of the role of resilience in the relationship between stress and burnout related to COVID-19.

The world has been affected by an outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Health care workers are among those most at risk of contracting the virus. In the fight against the coronavirus, nurses play a critical role. Still, most social media platforms demonstrate that nurses fear that their health is not being prioritized. The purpose of this study is to investigate nurses’ experiences through analyzing the main themes shared on Instagram by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast with highly structured research, the current paper highlights nurses’ natural language use in describing their experiences during the first months of the outbreak in their workplace. Instagram captions were utilized as a data source. Leximancer was utilized for the content analysis of nurses’ narratives towards their coronavirus experience. We sought to accomplish three research objectives: the first was to identify the main themes in the descriptions of nurses’ experiences shared via their social media, specifically Instagram; then, to determine the relationships among concepts, and finally, to give useful implications based on the findings. The current study uses a qualitative (i.e., narratives) approach to analyze the main components of the nurses’ experiences during the pandemic. The Leximancer software analysis revealed nine major textual themes and the relationships among these themes. In order of the relative importance, the themes were “patients”, “coronavirus”, “exhaustion”, “family”, “hospital”, “personal protective equipment” (PPE), “shift”, “fear”, and “uncertainty”. The results offer practical implications based on the social media information regarding nurses’ overall experiences.
