“…Literature findings indicate that nursing students experience fear [24,25] and follow the rules by showing seriousness and professionalism in preventing the spread of the virus [24,25,34]. Studies have shown that students have basic information about COVID-19 transmission and common symptoms, they changed their behavior in accordance with public health recommendations (increase in hand washing frequency, wearing a mask), and stopped doing some daily practices (for example, leaving home, shaking hands, social contact, and meetings) [18,35,36].…”

Little is known about the experiences of nursing students during the pandemic process. This research was conducted to determine the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic process. This qualitative study was conducted with 47 first-year nursing students of a faculty that experienced the COVID-19 pandemic between 3–30 April 2020. Student nurses stated that they felt fear and anxiety; they liked this situation in the beginning due to the constraints during the pandemic process, but due to the prolongation of this process, they experienced boredom due to monotonous extraordinary days of doing the same things every day and realized that every moment before the pandemic was very valuable. In addition, the students stated that rich and poor are equal in the face of the virus and that all humanity has learned solidarity by leaving wars, fights, and superiority efforts. In this process, it was found that nursing students have negative coping methods, such as not being able to manage time well due to constraints at home and spending too much time on the phone, internet, and computer. In this context, empowering nursing students to cope with challenging emotions and thoughts starting from their educational life will contribute to the development of both students and the profession.

This research aims to determine the impact of the unit they work at and being diagnosed with Covid-19 on the secondary traumatic stress level in midwives.Material and methods: Sample of the cross-sectional and comparative research consists of 170 midwives working in a province located in the east of Turkey. The data was collected with Personal Information Form and Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS). Descriptive statistics, t-test in independent groups and One-way Anova Analysis were used for data analysis.Results: It was determined that 27.1% of the midwives work at Covid service, 28.8% work at community health/family health centers and 44.1% work at other services. It was determined that the rate of midwives who were diagnosed with Covid-19 during the pandemic was 69.4%, the rate of midwives whose close colleagues were diagnosed with Covid-19 was 90.0%. It was found that average scores that midwives get from STSS total and all subdimensions varied statistically significantly between the units they work at (p<0.05) and this variance was caused by midwives working at Covid service and other services. It was determined that average score obtained from STSS total, "avoidance" and "stimulation" subdimensions was statistically significantly lower in midwives who were diagnosed with Covid-19 (p<0.05). In addition, it was determined that average score obtained from STSS total, "emotional violation" and "stimulation" subdimensions was statistically significantly higher in midwives whose close colleagues were diagnosed with Covid-19 (p<0.05). Conclusion:It was determined that midwives working at Covid-19 services experience higher secondary traumatic stress than those working at other services. In addition, while secondary traumatic stress level is higher in midwives whose close colleagues were diagnosed with Covid-19, it was determined that secondary traumatic stress level is lower in midwives who are diagnosed with Covid-19 than those who are not diagnosed.

The anxiety level of the pregnant women who were in the last trimester of pregnancy, who did not receive information about COVID-19, who changed their delivery method due to the pandemic, who received inadequate prenatal care, whose social support decreased, and who felt vulnerable, were significantly higher.
