Predictive factors affecting stress among nurses providing care at COVID‐19 isolation hospitals at Egypt

Abstract

Aims To examine predictive factors affecting stress among nurses providing care at COVID‐19 Isolation Hospitals at Egypt. Methods A cross‐sectional study conducted in five Isolation governmental hospitals for COVID‐19. 374 nurses included at the study. Characteristic forms, factors affecting nurses’ stress and Nursing Stress Scale (NSS) were used to collect data. Results (52.1%) of studied nurses had moderate level of total nursing stress scale. Also, (26.2%) of them had severe level, while (13.4% & 8.3%) of them had mild and normal level, respectively. Mean SD score of studied nurses regarding to total nursing stress scale was 99.47 ± 10.671. Conclusions Training for COVID‐19, availability of PPE, educational level and attention of hospital administration were negative predictor factors for nurses’ stress, while having children, people showed that COVID‐19 is stigma, fears of infection, workplace, fear of transmission infection for family and nurse to patient ratio were positive predictors.

Prevalence of stress, depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Stress was estimated in 40 studies [ 18 , 20 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 33 , 35 , 36 , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] , [68] , [69] , [70] ]. The overall pooled point estimates of prevalence for stress varied between 10% and 84% ( Fig.…”

“…The pooled prevalence according to the month of data collected was as follows: February: 32% ( n = 14; 95% CI 25–41; I2 = 98), March: 45% (n = 6; 95% CI 37–53; I2 = 96) and April: 50% ( n = 13; 95% CI 35–66; I2 = 98). Seventeen studies [ 20 , 35 , 36 , 39 , 43 , 44 , 46 , 54 , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , 67 , 69 ] involving nurses who were working on the frontline showed stress prevalence at 46% (95% CI = 39–54; I 2 = 97), whereas 20 studies including mixed nurses working in the frontline and second line showed the stress prevalence was 42% (95% CI = 31–53, I 2 = 99). Thirteen studies that used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) showed a pooled prevalence of stress at 50% (95% CI = 41–59, I 2 = 98), whereas eight studies [ 35 , 45 , [54] , [55] , [56] , 63 , 64 , 67 ] using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) had a pooled prevalence of 50% (95% CI = 37–63, I 2 = 99).…”

Investigating the Burden of Mental Distress Among Nurses at A Provincial COVID-19 Referral Hospital In Indonesia: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Meanwhile, their symptoms of stress have been positively associated with female gender, aged ≤ years, watching or reading COVID-19 news ≥ two hours per day, poor family and social support (10), fear of infection, fear transmission to the family member. Furthermore, it has been negatively associated with having training courses on COVID-19, availability of personal protective equipment and obtaining special attention from hospital administration (11).…”

Effect of Application Bundle Skin Care on Nurses’ Performance and Orthopedic Patients’ Skin Outcome: Quasi-Experimental Study

“…These results supported with the study conducted by (Mohammed et al, 2020), who reported that around three-quarter of nurses were female and only less than one quarter enrolled at training courses. Also, a cohort with the study performed by (Hendy et al, 2020), who detected that mean age of studied nurses was 32.06 ± 3.90 and about two-thirds of them were female.…”
