“…On the other hand, increase in working hours would deteriorate the staff nurses' behaviour. Similar results were reported in a study where nurses' acute and chronic fatigue levels were significantly associated with nursing performance in physical and mental care activities[54].…”

Background: Nurses are very important frontline health care professionals as they spend more time with patients than other professionals. This is even more so at this critical time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The nursing profession is facing great challenges in coping with the pandemic as they are more vulnerable to exposure and infection with the disease. Kuwait is not spared from the global pandemic which has put the health sector under immense pressure. Because COVID-19 is highly transmissible and deadly, it poses a huge health risk to nurses and has a huge impact on their cognitive, emotional, behavioural and physical dimensions. Aim: The study aims to explore the positive and negative emotions and feelings of staff nurses while giving care to COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. 300 nurses from different general hospitals, field hospitals, and quarantine facilities in Kuwait participated in the study. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results: The findings show that for the cognitive evaluation, 72% were moderately affected, for the emotional evaluation 51.3% and 44% were moderately and mildly affected respectively, for the behavioural evaluation, 66.7% were severely affected, and for the physical evaluation, 43.3% and 31.7% were moderately and severely affected respectively. Prolonged working hours has a highly significant negative correlation to emotional (r −0.165), behavioral (r −0.177) and physical (r −0.155) dimension of the nurses at 0.01 level using Spearman's correlation. Conclusion: The study concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the psychophysical dimensions of staff nurses.

“…In this study, nurses also appeared to suffer a heavier psychological load from treating COVID-19 patients than other professionals. There is a demand for stronger psychosocial or psychotherapeutic support, especially for nurses, and the already existing support possibilities such as peer and team support could be used [37].…”

In March 2020, strict measures took place in Finland to limit the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority of Finnish COVID-19 patients have been located in southern Finland and consequently cared for at the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) Helsinki University Hospital. During the pandemic, HUS personnel’s psychological symptoms are followed via an electronic survey, which also delivers information on psychosocial support services. In June 2020, the baseline survey was sent to 25,494 HUS employees, 4804 (19%) of whom answered; altogether, 62.4% of the respondents were nursing staff and 8.9% were medical doctors. While the follow-up continues for a year and a half, this report shares the sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents and the first results of psychological symptoms from our baseline survey. Out of those who were directly involved in the pandemic patient care, 43.4% reported potentially traumatic COVID-19 pandemic-related events (PTEs) vs. 21.8% among the others (p < 0.001). While over a half of the personnel were asymptomatic, a group of respondents reported PTEs and concurrent depression, insomnia, and anxiety symptoms. This highlights the need to ensure appropriate psychosocial support services to all traumatized personnel; especially, nursing staff may require attention.

“…Fasilitas alat pelindung diri kurang memadai bagi tenaga perawat yang bekerja dilingkungan kesehatan fisik akut, mereka merupakan kelompok yang sangat rentan terinfeksi Covid-19 karena berada di garda terdepan penaganan kasus, oleh karena itu mereka harus dibekali alat pelindung diri lengkap sesuai protokol dari WHO sehingga kecemasan yang dialami berkurang (Maben & Bridges, 2020). Penelitian lain dari Kanada menyatakan bahwa 3 fungsi alat pelindung diri yakni untuk tetesan dan tindakan pencegahan kontak, untuk tindakan pencegahan melalui udara, tetesan, dan kontak umum, serta untuk mereka yang melakukan atau membantu dengan prosedur medis penghasil aerosol berisiko tinggi (Lockhart et al, 2020).…”

ABSTRAKTenaga kesehatan dalam melaksanakan tugas sebagai garda terdepan penanganan, pencegahan, dan perawatan pasien Covid-19 mengalami kecemasan karena disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah ketersediaan alat pelindung diri. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang paling mempengaruhi kecemasan petugas kesehatan dalam pencegahan Covid-19. Penelitian kuantitatif mengunakan metode obsevasional analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional ini dilakukan di tiga Rumah Sakit dan sembilan Layanan Kesehatan pada bulan April 2020. Penentuan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan cluster random sampling dengan jumlah sampel 115 reponden. Uji pearson chi-square dilakukan untuk menilai hubungan antara kecemasan dan usia, jenis kelamin, status keluarga, kejujuran pasien, ketersediaan peralatan perlindungan pribadi, dan pengetahuan. Masing-masing variabel independen dievaluasi menggunakan analisis uji regresi logistik untuk menetukan variabel yang paling berpengaruh. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh usia (p=0.024); status keluarga (p=0.022); kejujuran pasien (p=0.034); ketersediaan alat pelindung diri (0.014); pengetahuan (p=0.030) terhadap kecemasan petugas. Dari hasil uji regresi logistik menunjukkan variabel ketersediaan alat pelindung diri yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kecemasan (r=0.517;CI=1.34-8.06), yang artinya ketersediaan alat pelindung memilliki pengaruh 51.7% terhadap kecemasan petugas kesehatan dalam upaya pencegahan Covid-19. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah harus memberikan perhatian yang sangat besar kepada petugas kesehatan yang berada digarda terdepan dalam pencegahan covid-19 terkait masalah kebutuhan alat pelindung diri sesuai protokol dari WHO. ABSTRACTHealth workers in carrying out their duties as the frontliners in handling, preventing and caring of COVID-19 patients experience anxiety caused by several factors and one of them is the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE). This study is conducted to determine some factors that mostly influence the anxiety of health workers in preventing of Covid-19. Quantitative research is used by analytical obsevational methods with cross-sectional design and is conducted in three Hospitals and nine Health Services in April 2020. Sampling techniques used cluster random sampling (n=115. Person chi-square tests are conducted to assess the relationship between anxiety and age, family status, availability of personal protective equipment, and knowledge. Independent variable is evaluated using logistic regression test analysis to determine the most influential variable. The results of this study indicate that there are influences of age (p-value=0.024); family status (p-value=0.022); patient honesty (p-value=0.034); the availability of personal protective equipment (p-value=0.014); knowledge (p-value=0.030) on staffs’ anxiety. The logistic regression test result clarifies that the availability of personal protective equipment is the most influential on anxiety (r=0.517; CI=1.34-8.06), which means the availability of protective devices has a 51.7% influence on the anxiety of health workers in preventing of Covid-19. Therefore, the government must pay great attention to health workers who are at the frontliners in preventing covid-19 related to the problem of personal needs for personal protective equipment based on the protocol from WHO.
