“…One notable difference, however, is that the study by Chou et al was completed during the “first wave” of the pandemic [ 11 ], when providers may have been less knowledgeable about COVID-19 or aware of the extent of its reach. Our results are more consistent, however, with two other studies suggesting that the stress burden on nursing staff during this pandemic may also correlate with their perception of increased risk of contracting COVID-19 [ 8 , 9 ]. Interestingly, despite the increased sense of risk among the nursing/technician group, subsequent COVID-19 antibody testing did not confirm a high incidence of antibodies in our study with only one individual having a presumed definitive antibody response.…”

“…The utility of antibody testing during this pandemic remains unclear, but this may be a component of mitigation strategies employed by countries when infection rates surpass the ability to contain disease [ 6 ]. To our knowledge, there are few studies reporting healthcare workers' self-assessment on risk of unprotected exposure to COVID-19 or perceived likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19 antibodies [ [7] , [8] , [9] ].…”

“…The existing literature available on COVID-19 perceived risk has identified its detrimental outcomes for employees, particularly healthcare workers (Gorini et al, 2020 ; Yildirim et al, 2020 ). According to some studies, it is the root cause behind an increase in mental health issues among healthcare workers and needs immediate attention from occupational health researchers (Alsubaie et al, 2019 ; Chu et al, 2021 ; Yildirim et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The literature on COVID-perceived risk has only identified its adverse outcomes (for reference see (Alsubaie et al, 2019 ; Gorini et al, 2020 ; Yildirim et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Chu et al, 2021 ), there is a scarcity of research on the factors that can minimize COVID-19 perceived risk among employees. It is crucial to identify factors that can decrease COVID-19 perceived risk among healthcare workers.…”

Occupational health researchers have begun to realize that the psychological well-being of healthcare workers who are providing treatment against COVID-19 is deteriorating. However, there is minimal research conducted on it, particularly in the context of leadership. The current study aims to fill this important gap by identifying critical factors that can enhance the psychological well-being of healthcare workers. We proposed that safety specific transformational leadership enhances psychological well-being among healthcare workers, and COVID-19 perceived risk mediates this relationship. Furthermore, the safety conscientiousness of healthcare workers was proposed to be a boundary condition that enhances the negative relationship between safety-specific transformational leadership and COVID-19 perceived risk. Data were collected from healthcare workers (N = 232) treating COVID-19 patients in the hospitals of Pakistan through well-established adopted questionnaires. The discriminant and convergent validity of the data was tested through confirmatory factor analysis by using AMOS statistical package. The mediation and moderation hypotheses were tested by using PROCESS Macro by Hayes. The results showed that safety specific transformational leadership enhances psychological well-being among healthcare workers, and COVID-19 perceived risk mediates this relationship. Moderation results also confirmed that safety conscientiousness moderates the relationship between safety specific transformational leadership and COVID-19 perceived risk. This study offers implications for both researchers and practitioners.

Objetivo: Descrever os impactos causados na saúde mental dos profissionais de enfermagem na pandemia da Covid- 19. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa de literatura, voltada aos impactos que a pandemia trouxe à saúde mental dos enfermeiros. Foi realizado um levantamento de artigos publicados na base de dados da Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciência da Saúde, Biblioteca Eletrônica Cientifica Online, Bases de Dados de Enfermagem e Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online. Resultados: Foram incluídos em 15 publicações na amostra final do estudo. Identificação das causas e dificuldades como: exposição dos profissionais ao vírus, longas jornadas de trabalho, pouca quantidade de recursos, sofrimentos dos pacientes, preocupação em contaminar os familiares, pressão psicológica pela grande responsabilidade em salvar vidas. Conclusão: A pandemia pelo COVID-19, a exposição dos profissionais de enfermagem as condições excessivas de trabalho, o contato direto com pacientes infectados, trouxeram situações como adoecimento e quantidade insuficiente de profissionais para atender a demanda. O apoio psicológico para esses profissionais e melhores condições de trabalho são de suma importância nesse contexto de pandemia.
