“… 6 , 8 Additionally, to meet increasing care demands, quickly trained nurses were deployed to assist in ICU care of COVID-19 patients. 25 Moreover, the excess use of immunosuppressive drugs such as tocilizumab and steroids among patients with COVOD-19 increased their susceptibility to infection including CLABSI. 9 , 26 Furthermore, as COVID-19 pandemic changed hospital admission policies with limited access to less severe cases, the increase of CLABSI rates could be due to the decrease in the denominator which is primarily composed of patients with lower CLABSI risk.…”

“…Accordingly, nurses are one of the most crucial pillars of healthcare organizations during COVID-19, and any flaws will have irreversible implications owing to their critical role in patient care. As a result, it is critical to pay close attention to the factors that influence nurses' performance in this area (7,8). Burnout among nurses, more than any other factors, jeopardizes patient recovery (9,10).…”

BackgroundIn the recent pandemic, nurses have faced workload and being exposed to burnout. Resilience helps address work-related psychological problems such as stressful events and burnout. According to the roles of nurses in the healthcare system, we investigated the relationship between resiliency and burnout in nurses.Material and MethodsIn this descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, 364 nurses participated from April to June 2021. Census sampling was used to recruit participants. Maslach burnout inventory (MBI), Connor-Davidson Resiliency Scale (CDRISC), and a demographic check-list were utilized to collect data. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Shapiro-Wilk, Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney U-test, correlation analysis, and generalized linear model were applied accordingly.ResultsOverall, the findings showed that nurses had severe symptoms of burnout and a moderate level of resilience. The two domains of burnout, emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment had a significantly negative correlation with resilience (r = −0.442, p < 0.001 and r = −0.351, p = 0.03, respectively). Linear regression showed that demographic characteristics (Hospital type, ward type, gender, and overtime) were the major predictors of the 3 sub-categories of burnout. A significant negative correlation was observed between burnout and resilience highlighting the role of resilience in reducing burnout (P < 0.05).ConclusionIn order to help nurses to tackle and endure burnout in pandemic times, there is a need to implement national and local policies to help them accordingly.

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals faced significant strain in terms of staff, equipment, and supplies. Due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, our but also other hospitals needed to quickly train and redeploy staff to assist in the ICU care of COVID-19 patients [31]. Additionally, healthcare settings had staffing shortages due to exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, illness, or the need to care for family members.…”

(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rates of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), its etiology, and risk factors in critically ill patients, because Slovakia was one of the countries experiencing a high burden of COVID-19 infections, and hospitals faced greater challenges in preventing and managing CLABSI; (2) Methods: A retrospective analysis of CLABSI data from all patients admitted to adult respiratory intensive care units before and during COVID-19 pandemic was conducted. We followed the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control surveillance methodology for CLABSI. Data were analyzed using STATISTICA 13.1; (3) Results: We analyzed the data of 803 ICU patients hospitalized for 8385 bed days, with 7803 central line days. Forty-five CLABSI events were identified. The CLABSI rate significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic (2.81 versus 7.47 events per 1000 central line days, (p < 0.001). The most frequently identified pathogens causing CLABSI were Gram-negative organisms (60.20%). The risk factors found to increase the probability of developing CLABSI were length of stay (OR = 1.080; 95% Cl: 1.057–1.103; p < 0.001) and COVID-19 (OR = 5.485; 95% Cl: 32.706–11.116; p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increases in CLABSI in ICUs. These data underscore the need to increase efforts in providing surveillance of CLABSI and implementing infection prevention measures.
