“…The results of this study are different from studies by Foster et al [ 30 ] on mental health nurses in Australia which show a significant relationship between resilience and length of service. According to research by Wu et al [ 31 ], nurses with more than 15 years of experience were more resilient. About 31% of the nurses in this study with fewer than 15 years of experience reported having low resilience.…”

COVID-19 has a negative effect on the psychological well-being of psychiatric nurses. Thus, examining the psychosocial response of nurses is important for preventing more serious mental health problems and disruption of the quality of nursing care. This study aimed to evaluate the psychosocial problems of nurses who provided nursing care to patients with mental health disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The 101 nurses at Central Mental Health Hospital who provide nursing care to patients with mental health disorders were recruited through consecutive sampling. The instruments used were the demographic questionnaire, the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale, Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and The Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale 25. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to process the data. The mean score of 45.1 (±24.3) was obtained for the ENSS; around 97% of nurses have a work stress score below the average, 4.95% have mild-moderate anxiety, and 28.7% have a low level of resilience. Work stress and contact frequency, work stress and gender, anxiety and contact frequency, as well as resilience and contact frequency all correlated significantly ( p value <0.05). The Pearson test showed a significant positive correlation between work stress and anxiety ( p : 0.002, r: 0.299). However, there was no significant correlation between anxiety and resilience ( p : 0.643, r: 0.47), nor between work stress and resilience ( p : 0.643; r: 0.47). Psychosocial disorders that psychiatric nurses face include occupational stress, mild-moderate anxiety, and low resilience. The government can create specific infection control guidelines for the mental health setting, and hospital management or ward leaders can also provide support to psychiatric nurses to increase resilience in reducing psychosocial problems.

“…Individual, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with each participant. According to Husserl (Sundler et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2023), this design is suitable for exploring participants' life experiences and gaining an understanding of their individual perspectives. The training hospital is situated in the north‐east of Namibia and serves as a referral hospital for three regions, which have a combined population of approximately half a million people.…”

“…The transcripts underwent thorough readings and re‐readings by the authors so that they could fully immerse themselves in the data. Data analysis was performed manually with the assistance of Microsoft Office in line with Colaizzi's seven‐step methodology (Sundler et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2023). The authors then coded the relevant data units into themes, which related to the nurses' life experiences about which factors influence their utilization of PURAS.…”

AimThe aim of the study was to explore nurses' barriers to the pressure ulcer risk assessment scales implementation.DesignA qualitative descriptive phenomenological study.MethodsThe research participants comprised of 10 nurses at various medical and surgical departments in a teaching hospital northeast of Namibia. Data were collected between August and September 2022 through in‐depth, semi‐structured face‐to‐face individual interviews and analysed using Colaizzi's 7‐step method.ResultsThe interviews with nurses, led to two major themes being discovered: (1) factors hindering the effective prevention of pressure ulcers; (2) suggestions for improvements in the utilization of risk assessment scales. The participants noted that they had inadequate knowledge of the formal risk assessment scales; there were inadequate resources and insufficient staff; there were no policies or guidelines regarding the management of pressure ulcers, all of which influenced their utilization of pressure risk assessment scales. Education and training, the provision of equipment, the hiring of new staff and the formulation of policies/guidelines would thus improve the nurses’ utilization of the scales.ConclusionThe findings of this study have uncovered three primary factors that have a detrimental impact on the utilization of risk assessment scales by nurses, that is their lack knowledge on pressure ulcer risk assessment scales; a shortage of staff and equipment; and an absence of policies/guidelines. The findings from this study provide valuable implications for guiding quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing the standard of care in Namibia and other resource‐limited settings.

“…These interventions aim to promote positive psychological functioning and well-being, particularly in the face of stress and adversity (Hasan et al, 2022). For instance, psychological resilience-building interventions have been found to be effective in promoting resilience and reducing depression, anxiety, and stress among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic (Wu et al, 2022). Additionally, fostering personal resources such as optimism, hope, courage, trait mindfulness, and self-efficacy has been identified as a key strategy for enhancing psychological resilience (Chiesi et al, 2022).…”

This study aims to explore and identify effective psychological approaches and interventions that can foster resilience and prevent burnout among health professionals. It seeks to understand how individual and organizational strategies can be integrated to support healthcare workers' mental well-being. The article employs a narrative review methodology, synthesizing existing research findings on resilience-building and burnout prevention strategies within healthcare settings. It examines both individual-level interventions, such as emotional intelligence training and stress management techniques, and organizational-level initiatives, including work environment improvements and policy changes. The review highlights that a combination of individual and organizational interventions is crucial for building resilience among health professionals. Key findings suggest that strategies focusing on enhancing emotional intelligence, promoting work-life balance, and creating a supportive work environment are effective in mitigating burnout. Furthermore, the importance of adaptive coping mechanisms and social support systems is emphasized. Building resilience in healthcare professionals is a multifaceted endeavor that requires both individual efforts and organizational support. The article concludes that implementing comprehensive, evidence-based interventions can significantly prevent burnout, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes and improved patient care. Future research should aim to address gaps in the current literature, particularly in assessing the long-term effectiveness of these interventions across diverse healthcare contexts.
