“…Besides physical challenges and high workload, there are many cognitive and emotional challenges nurses have to deal with. For instance, many nurses were trained for new tasks or redeployed [4][5][6][7]. Additionally, they have to deal with severe disease progression among patients and are at risk to get infected themselves [8,9].…”

Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, shortage of nursing staff became even more evident. Nurses experienced great strain, putting them at risk to leave their jobs. Individual and organizational factors were known to be associated with nurses’ turnover intention before the pandemic. The knowledge of factors associated with turnover intention during the pandemic could help to foster nurses’ retention. Therefore, this review aims to identify factors associated with nurses’ turnover intention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods After a systematic search of six databases, the resulting records were screened in a two-step process based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The included quantitative studies were synthesized qualitatively due to their methodological heterogeneity. Results A total of 19 articles were included in the analysis. Individual factors such as health factors or psychological symptoms and demographic characteristics were associated with nurses’ turnover intention. Organizational factors associated with turnover intention were e.g., caring for COVID-19 patients, low job control or high job demands, and moral distress. Resilience and supporting leadership could mitigate adverse associations with turnover intention. Conclusions The results help to identify high-risk groups according to individual factors and to develop possible interventions, such as trainings for nurses and their superiors, addressing individual and organizational factors. Future research should focus on longitudinal designs applying carefully defined concepts of turnover intention.

“…As nurses account for the highest proportion of medical workers and are in direct and regular contact with patients to provide medical services, the increase in nurses' fatigue has become a cause for concern [9]. Nursing work involves carrying out physical and mental tasks simultaneously, and there is a high chance for physical and mental fatigue to occur [11][12][13]. This is an important factor that may lead to the occurrence of medical errors [10].…”

BACKGROUND: The continuous spread of COVID-19 globally has led to busier medical practices and nurses are having to provide medical services to patients while suffering from high levels of fatigue. OBJECTIVE: This study experimentally investigated the influence of different levels of personal protection equipment (PPE) on nurses’ physical fatigue. METHODS: We collected data from 12 participants by simulating a series of nursing tasks. The participants wore one of three different protection levels of PPE, and data recording their heart rate (HR), oral temperature, task completion time, and subjective fatigue were collected. Following this, relationship models between subjective fatigue and objective fatigue indices was established using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: By analyzing the variation trends of single indices of HR, oral temperature, task completion time, and subjective fatigue, it was found that the higher the level of protection levels of PPE worn by the participants, the higher the degree of fatigue experienced by them. In addition, taking subjective fatigue variation as the dependent variable and objective fatigue indices as independent variables, relationship models of the three different protection levels of PPE were established. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirmed the influence of different protection levels of PPE on nurses’ physical fatigue levels. They also provide a basis for medical administrators to monitor the degree of fatigue experienced by nurses, attempt to arrange nurses’ work content accordingly, and schedule suitably to combat and manage recorded increases in fatigue.

“…Viele Beschäftigte betrachten gute soziale Beziehungen am Arbeitsplatz sogar als das "Zünglein an der Waage", ohne das der Zeit-und Leistungsdruck nicht mehr ohne Beeinträchtigungen "zu ertragen" wäre. Gute soziale Beziehungen stellen somit eine sehr wichtige Ressource spezifisch bei Arbeit unter Zeit-und Leistungsdruck dar [11].…”

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Zeit- und Leistungsdruck ist eine weit verbreitete Anforderung in der Arbeitswelt, durch die sich viele Beschäftigte belastet fühlen und die Risiken für die Gesundheit der Beschäftigten birgt. Ressourcen für eine gute Bewältigung dieser Anforderung sind wichtig. Die sozialen Beziehungen am Arbeitsplatz können eine zentrale Ressource sein. Fragestellung Im Rahmen einer qualitativen Studie wurde untersucht, welche Aspekte sozialer Beziehungen am Arbeitsplatz als hilfreich spezifisch bei Arbeit unter Zeit- und Leistungsdruck beschrieben werden. Methodik Es wurden Betriebsfallstudien in fünf verschiedenen Betrieben der Dienstleistungs- und Wissensarbeit durchgeführt. Den Kern der Fallstudien stellten insgesamt 45 teilstrukturierte Interviews mit Beschäftigten dar. Die Interviews wurden aufgezeichnet, transkribiert und softwaregestützt inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Ergebnisse Es konnten verschiedene hilfreiche Aspekte der sozialen Beziehungen identifiziert werden, die einem guten Teamklima sowie der sozialen Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz zuzuordnen sind. Die Beschäftigten beschrieben sie als hilfreich für einen gesundheitserhaltenden Umgang mit vorhandenem Zeit- und Leistungsdruck und als Puffer für mögliche Beeinträchtigungen des Befindens durch den vorhandenen Zeit- und Leistungsdruck. Für alle Aspekte wurde nicht der tatsächliche Erhalt als zentral beschrieben, sondern deren Wahrnehmung als jederzeit abrufbare Ressource. Schlussfolgerung Gute soziale Beziehungen sollten bei Arbeit unter Zeit- und Leistungsdruck als wertvolle Ressource anerkannt und gezielt gefördert werden, insbesondere da hoher Zeit- und Leistungsdruck mit einer Verschlechterung der sozialen Beziehungen einhergehen kann. Verlustspiralen sollte aktiv entgegengewirkt werden.
