“…In total, records 5,931 were retrieved. Additionally, three studies were identified from the reference lists of previously published literature reviews (Chesak et al, 2019 ; Ghawadra et al, 2019 ; Bakker et al, 2020 ). 5,892 records were left for screening after removing duplicates.…”

“…Therefore, this fact rendered the comparison of the results difficult and based on this one might question their generalizability to other settings. Although previous research on stress reduction in health care providers has also identified the same methodological problem (e.g., Edwards and Burnard, 2003;Bakker et al, 2020), it still concerns. Furthermore, future research may pay more attention into different nursing specialties by developing strategies to meet the demands of non-hospital-based institutions (Bakker et al, 2020).…”

Background: Nurses are facing unprecedented amounts of pressure because of the ongoing global health challenges. Improving nurses' resilience to job-related stress and enhancing their strategies to cope effectively with stressors are key issues facing many health care institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This literature review aimed to: a) provide a thorough overview of individual-level interventions for stress management among nurses, b) identify measurement tools utilized to evaluate nurses' stress level, and c) provide the best evidence-based recommendations for future research and practice adapted to the current restrictions.Design: Systematic review.Data Sources: Studies published between January 2000 and October 2020 were retrieved from the following sources: EBSCOhost, Dortmund University Library, PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, Applied Nursing Research, and reference lists from relevant articles.Review methods: Individual-level interventions with a control group or a placebo intervention were included in the final sample. Primary outcome was defined as a change in individual stress level or stress symptoms which were measured by objective or subjective instruments with evidence of validity. Articles published in English or German were included in the present review.Results: In total, 27 relevant studies were included into the current review. There are some indications that technology-delivered interventions with relaxation and stress management interventions comprising cognitive-behavioral components might be effective in decreasing stress among nurses and improving their well-being. Furthermore, although there were some attempts to collect objectively measured parameters for assessing the primary outcome of stress, the majority of the interventions utilized self-reported stress scales.Conclusion: A wide range of interventions are available for nurses. However, it is of utmost importance to develop and implement stress management programs that are conveniently accessible in the workplace and above all, meet the current restrictions for minimizing human contacts. To this end, innovative interventions delivered through digital technology, such as virtual reality, seem to be a promising solution for combating the detrimental impact of stress on nurses. Special attention should be also paid to applying standardized objective measurement tools to allow the assessment of sensitive physiological indices and the generalizability of scientific knowledge.

“…The impact of academic life on the mental health of university students has already been widely reported (Pasic et al ., 2020). Poor mental health has been associated with a significant deterioration in academic performance (Hysenbegasi et al ., 2005) and also with students abandoning certain studies (Bakker et al ., 2020; Bowman et al ., 2020). This phenomenon is particularly relevant in degrees associated with health, such as nursing and medicine (Hughes & Byrom, 2019).…”

“…This phenomenon is particularly relevant in degrees associated with health, such as nursing and medicine (Hughes & Byrom, 2019). In fact, higher levels of depression and anxiety have been reported in students studying these subjects than other academic disciplines (Bakker et al ., 2020; Iorga et al ., 2018; Mitchell, 2018; Tung et al, 2018).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has had an important impact on the academic world. It is known that university studies can influence the mental health of students, and especially those studying health sciences. In this study, we therefore sought to analyse whether the current pandemic has affected the mental well‐being of final‐year nursing students. This was a multi‐centre study, with a descriptive, longitudinal, and prospective design. Mental well‐being was evaluated using the General Health Questionnaire. A total of 305 participants were included in the study, of whom 52.1% had experienced the COVID‐19 pandemic. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups analysed in terms of age, access to university, average marks, mental well‐being self‐esteem, emotional exhaustion, and sense of coherence. In the case of mental well‐being, a direct association was found with both the pandemic situation (OR = 2.32, P = 0.010) and emotional exhaustion scores (OR = 1.20, P < 0.001), while an inverse association was found with sense of coherence scores (OR = 0.45, P < 0.001). This study shows that the mental health of students is a significant factor and one that must be taken into consideration when training nursing staff at university. There is a need to promote healthy habits and provide appropriate coping strategies. It is also important to train and prepare students for pandemic situations as these can have an important impact on the mental health of both the members of the public who will be treated by these future nursing professionals and the students themselves.
