“…Health care institutions such as hospitals are frontline institutions during any disaster or disease outbreak. A well‐planned workplace protocol should be in place, containing sets of actions relevant to disaster or disease outbreak, such as guidelines for caring for affected patients, safety practices when handling patients, relevant training, response plans and collaboration with other agencies at the local and national level (Hirshouer et al., 2020). As nurses are frontline health workers, it is essential that they are oriented and familiar with the content of workplace protocol; they should be knowledgeable on and skilful in carrying it out (Ben Natan et al., 2014; Labrague et al., 2018).…”

“…Since frontline nurses are directly involved in patient care, their risk of contracting COVID-19 is higher than the general population. This could contribute to their feelings of apprehension or fear of being infected or unknowingly infecting others, including their TA B L E 1 Staff, unit and hospital characteristics (n = 261) protocol should be in place, containing sets of actions relevant to disaster or disease outbreak, such as guidelines for caring for affected patients, safety practices when handling patients, relevant training, response plans and collaboration with other agencies at the local and national level (Hirshouer et al, 2020).

Aim To examine the relative influence of fear of COVID‐19 on nurses’ psychological distress, work satisfaction and intent to leave their organisation and the profession. Background The emergence of COVID‐19 has significantly impacted the psychological and mental well‐being of frontline healthcare workers, including nurses. To date, no studies have been conducted examining how this fear of COVID‐19 contributes to health, well‐being and work outcomes in frontline nurses. Methods This is a cross‐sectional research design involving 261 frontline nurses in the Philippines. Five standardised scales were used for data collection. Results Overall, the composite score of the fear of COVID‐19 scale was 19.92. Job role and attendance of COVID‐19‐related training predicted fear of COVID‐19. An increased level of fear of COVID‐19 was associated with decreased job satisfaction, increased psychological distress, and increased organisational and professional turnover intentions. Conclusions Frontline nurses who reported not having attended COVID‐19‐related training and those who held part‐time job roles reported increased fears of COVID‐19. Addressing the fear of COVID‐19 may result in improved job outcomes in frontline nurses, such as increased job satisfaction, decreased stress levels and lower intent to leave the organisation and the profession. Implications for Nursing Management Organisational measures are vital to support the mental health of nurses and address their fear of COVID‐19 through peer and social support, psychological and mental support services (e.g., counselling or psychotherapy), provision of training related to COVID‐19, and accurate and regular information updates.

“…Therefore, the organization must provide well-planned workplace protocols, such as guidelines for caring for affected patients, a set of actions related to a disaster or disease outbreak, and safety practices when treating patients. Hospitals should also collaborate with institutions at the local and national levels in preparing appropriate training and response plans (Hirshouer et al, 2020). As nurses are front-line health workers, they must be oriented and familiar with workplace protocol content; they should be knowledgeable and skillful in carrying it out (Labrague et al, 2018).…”

Background: Nurses who work on the front-line and are involved in caring for COVID-19 patients have a high risk of transmission. The increase in the number of confirmed and suspected cases, followed by an increase in workload, a limitation of personal protection equipment, a lack of effective treatment, and inadequate emotional support may contribute to the work intention during a pandemic.Purpose: This study aimed to describe nurses’ intention to work and provide care when people may be at risk of the COVID-19 and examine its relating factors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and survey-based study that collected the respondents' characteristics and the intention to work measurements from 238 nurses in 36 hospitals in West Sumatera, Indonesia. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, T-tests, and ANOVA.Results: The mean and standard deviation scores of nurses’ intention to work during the COVID-19 outbreak were 42.49±5.92. The isolation experience, the presence of authorized beds for COVID-19, and sufficient protection equipment supply, were correlated to the intention to work (p=0.016, p=0.035, p=0.000). Nurse respondents expected that hospital managers should provide more attention to nurses who agreed to attend to work during the COVID-19 outbreak. Conclusion: Nurses showed preserved intention to work during the COVID-19 outbreak. The factors correlated with intention to work were isolation experience, the presence of authorized beds for COVID-19, and protection equipment supply. The government and hospital management should ensure strategies and regulations to provide adequate hospital protective equipment supplies. They should also support compensations to nurses who actively care for patients during the COVID-19 outbreak.
