“…There was no differentiation between the in-person and virtual R&R making it difficult to explain how barriers were determined by each participant. Of note, other studies of self-care and professional self-care report “time” as a barrier, with a connection to “leadership support” (Green, 2021; Lier et al, 2019; Ross, et al, 2019).…”

Background: Holistic care interventions include support for healthcare worker grief in a relationship-based care paradigm. Few programs support oncology healthcare worker grief and renewal prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: Describe “knowledge of” and “engagement with” a program about grief and resilience, Remembrance & Renewal (R&R). Method: An anonymous, electronic survey was available to healthcare workers at an academic, comprehensive cancer center. Demographic questions were analyzed against “knowledge of” and “engagement with.” Results: Of 105 responding to “awareness of,” 81 knew about R&R and 48 had “engaged with” the program. Statistically significant relationships between a characteristic and awareness were found for education ( p = .03), setting (p < .01), and the frequency of learning about a death ( p = .04). Statistically significant relationships between a characteristic and level of participation were found for profession ( p = .02) and length of time in job ( p = .03). Open-ended questions asked about impact of patient death ( n = 93), barriers to participation ( n = 54), and feelings after “engagement with” ( n = 45). Responses to impact, barriers, and feelings were respectively: sadness (75.3%); time (77.8%); and calm (75.6%). Conclusion: This study describes “knowledge of” and “engagement with” a holistic grief and renewal program. Further study will add to healthcare worker holistic self-care.

“…This study shows that one source of nurses' strength is God or their faith in God during difficulties. Similarly, Green (2021) revealed that powerlessness should not be viewed as a weakness but as an avenue to ask for God's support.…”

“…As nurses deal with their patient's pain and suffering, it also affects their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being (Groves & Klauser, 2009). Resultantly, nurses often neglect their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being (Green, 2021). Due to these challenges and issues nurses confront during this pandemic, nurses may find themselves losing control over their working environment, which could affect how they behave, think, and feel about the present and future situations at work.…”

Aims: This study explores nurses' perceived spiritual well-being in the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic.Background: Nurses have been working heavy shifts under challenging workplace conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to anxiety and psychological stress. These various challenges at work place their spiritual well-being at risk.Methods: An unstructured individual online interview was conducted to collect data from 18 nurses from April to August 2021. Data were analysed using the thematic approach.Results: This study highlighted the four themes of spiritual well-being of nurses, namely, "Trust in God," "spiritual encouragement," "spiritual attributes in the workplace," and "spiritual growth." Conclusions:The study concludes that spirituality is critical in helping nurses overcome the myriad of adversities they face as they assume their important roles during the ongoing pandemic.Implication for Nursing Management: The study emphasizes that nurses' spiritual aspect during crises is equally important with the other aspects of a nurse's life.Moreover, policies and interventions in hospitals must be implemented to ensure excellent levels of spiritual well-being among nurses.

“…Spirituality can encompass values, beliefs, and religions, in addition to providing meaning to life, connection with others, and life purpose, being a transcendental or metaphysical phenomenon that correlates with the purpose and meaning of life (29). In nursing care, the dimension of spiritual health and self-care is supported by studies that emphasize the importance of the therapeutic dimensions of spirituality (30).…”

Objective: To analyze nursing professionals’ reports on their lived experience in the care provided to hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This is an exploratory study using a qualitative analysis, which included twelve nurses and eight nursing technicians from a public hospital in Brazil, conducted between December 2020 and February 2021. The inclusion criteria were professionals who provided care to COVID-19 patients in emergency, intensive care, and inpatient units and who had at least one year of experience in the institution. The interviews were analyzed through content and similarity analysis that generated a similarity tree; the Reinert method was used for thematic categories. Results: Most participants were female, with a mean age of 34.15 years and 4.85 years of experience. From the analysis, the words ‘patient,’ ‘to stay,’ and ‘to find’ were the most frequent, and for the categories, they were “nursing professionals’ feelings regarding the pandemic,” “the nurses’ role and work with the multi-professional team in the care provided to patients with COVID-19,” “precautions with the care provided to patients with COVID-19,” and “nursing professionals’ concern that their family members may become ill during the pandemic.” Conclusions: The nursing staff is predominantly composed of females and, in their reports on the lived experience of providing care to patients with COVID-19, they pointed out that concern and fear were prevalent, with the family being one of the protective factors to withstand the risks of working against something novel that may result in death.
