“…The qualitative results of this study are consistent with a previous analysis of the online posts of Chinese nurses, where researchers developed the themes of “constructing a better self” and “constructing a strong support network” (Chen et al, 2021), which are close to the themes of “moving forward amid adversity and support” and “returning to everyday life and constructing meaning” in the present study. Previous studies have demonstrated the essential roles of support systems for nurses (Arnetz et al, 2020; Kim & Kim, 2021), and people who experience greater organizational and social support may report lower anxiety related to COVID‐19 (Labrague & De los Santos, 2020).…”

“…Certain studies have used NodeXL, LDAvis, and other visualization tools to analyze the posts by nurses on Twitter (Guo et al, 2021; O'Leary et al, 2022). Furthermore, content analysis has been conducted by collecting photos and texts posted by nurses on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Sina Weibo (Arasli et al, 2020; Chen et al, 2021; Fontanini et al, 2021; Koren et al, 2021; Rossettini et al, 2022). However, the characteristics of nurses' experiences and corresponding sentiments of posts were not extracted and analyzed in these studies.…”

This study aims to explore the early experiences of frontline nurses at the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic in China as expressed through social media posts. This study used an explanatory sequential mixed‐method design. Text mining was used for sentiment analysis. The chi‐square test was used to compare the differences in the composition ratio of sentiment classification of posts in different months. Word frequency was statistically analyzed. Further thematic analysis was also performed. The primary sentiments of the posts were discovered to be positive and neutral. The number of posts containing positive emotions was the lowest in January, peaked in March, and gradually declined in April 2020. The following nurse‐oriented narrative themes were developed: “To see and be seen,” “Moving forward amid adversity and support,” and “Returning to everyday life and constructing meaning.” The sentiments of Chinese nurses in response to the pandemic fluctuated, with positive emotions in the early stage, but it could not be sustained. This study recommends nurses could be encouraged to engage in expressive writing while adhering to ethical guidelines.

“…The impact of the emotional and psychological overload experienced by frontline nurses during the pandemic is reflected in the number of primary studies involving aspects related to the mental health of these professionals around the world (Al Maqbali et al., 2021; Arnetz et al., 2020; Chen et al., 2021; Dal'Bosco et al., 2020; Kelsey et al., 2021; Lai et al., 2020; Prasad et al., 2021).

To assess the prevalence of mental health symptoms in nursing professionals during the COVID‐19 pandemic on the American continent. A systematic review and meta‐analysis of observational studies that estimated the prevalence of mental health symptoms in nursing professionals during the COVID‐19 pandemic was performed through bibliographic database searches. A three‐level meta‐analysis model was used with the inverse variance method, tau was estimated via restricted maximum likelihood and logistic transformation, and heterogeneity was presented as tau2 and I2. Of the 7467 studies obtained, 62 were included in the meta‐analysis, which involved 52 270 nursing professionals. The overall prevalence for at least one mental health symptom was 56.3% (50.4%, 62.1%; I2 = 98.6%, p < 0.001). Eight mental health symptoms were found; among them, the most prevalent were burnout (52.1%, 37.1%, 88.8%; I2 = 98.5%, p < 0.001) and fear (52.1%, 30.1%, 73.3%; I2 = 98.1%, p < 0.001). The prevalence of mental health symptoms in nursing professionals during the COVID‐19 pandemic on the American continent was high, and strategies should be developed and implemented by managers and government agencies to promote the well‐being, physical and mental health of nursing professionals. Studies like this one are necessary to highlight the need for efforts in the implementation of promotion and prevention actions to be developed by health organisations, managers and leaders with a view to improving the quality of life of nursing workers.

Health behavior in COVID-19 pandemic situation needs to be measured in the general population in order to evaluate the implementation of health guidelines in the new normal era, especially WHO recommendations. Knowledge, attitude, and action are domains of health behavior that translated into COVID-19 knowledge, perceived self-care ability, and new normal health behavior in this study. We aimed at describing the knowledge of COVID-19 and the perceived self-care ability, and analyzing the differences of new normal health behavior before and after COVID-19 pandemic situation among adults living in congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study involved 384 respondents living in five congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia, which enrolled by means of cluster random sampling. Research variables were measured by a self-developed valid and reliable questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used in data analysis. Ethical clearance was issued. Results showed that most respondents had very good knowledge of COVID-19 (63%) and high level of perceived self-care ability (74%). Before and after pandemic most respondents reported sufficient new normal health behavior (before: 74.7%; after: 83.9%). There was a significant difference of new normal health behavior before and after COVID-19 pandemic situation among adults living in congested communities of Surabaya, Indonesia (p=0.000). New normal health behavior was unoptimal in implementation. Therefore, efforts to improve new normal health behavior need to be done by various parties, not only the individuals, but also health care professionals and the government as policy maker.
