Introduction: With COVID-19 pandemic, the labor market suffered a big change worldwide, with the nurse's area being one of the most affected, especially in what refers to the great resignation. The aim of this study is to make visible the need to take measures in the area of psychosocial risks suffered by nurses through an analysis of the harm they entail and possible prevention actions. Method: They have been identified in a narrative review different official reports of surveys from several medical centers around the world, as well as scientific articles on topics related to psychosocial risks of nurses during the pandemic, using PUBMED, Web of Science and Scopus. Results: Results show the rising dissatisfaction and the high levels of psychosocial risks to which nurses have been exposed. 90% of the nurses surveyed considered leaving the profession and 40% assure that they are experiencing serious health problems such as anxiety or depression. Studies indicate that efforts should be made at an organizational level to ensure the emotional care of nurses. There are recommended support initiatives for nurses such as accessibity of mental health resources or facilitate greater personal connections. Conclusion: Lack of assessment with valid and reliable tools condition effective preventive measures and organizational resources. Planification must be imposed to replace surveys and perceptions with protocols to objectify the dangers present at a psychosocial level in the socio-sanitary environment.

“…Celano and colleagues [49] maintained that it is essential that healthcare workers be provided with a whole-person care, i.e., mind, body, spirit, in order for them to remain and flourish in their place of work. It stands to reason that organizations, need to support the overall health and wellbeing of healthcare workers.…”

The healthcare industry is the largest and fastest growing industry in the world; however, being a part of the healthcare system involves being at an increased risk of experiencing mental health problems, loneliness, stress, and increased susceptibility to experiencing compassion fatigue related to the emotional wear associated with providing patient-centered care. Healthcare workers include, but are not limited, to physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and psychologists. Often, healthcare workers place the needs and wellbeing of patients before their own. This article aims to highlight the occupational hazards of working in the healthcare field, the physical and emotional isolation associated with clinical practice, managing distressing behaviors by patients, and reviewing the systemic barriers influencing the development and management of moral distress. We further aim to bring attention to the need for healthcare professionals to place self-care at the forefront of their therapeutic repertoire through various individualized strategies, through the importance of building moral resilience, and the shift towards improving workplace spirituality. Practicing self-care can address the consequences of neglecting one’s own wellbeing, positively impact the ability to provide better quality patient care, and benefits relationships with patients, loved ones, and of most importantly with oneself.
