“…Spirituality promotes personal faith and reduces stress and depression among nurses. Also, performing religious practices had a protective effect against occupational stress among registered Nurses (Batalla et al, 2019 ). It has been found that religious coping can moderate the effect of stress on outcomes of behavioral disorders and lead to maintenance and protection of communities҆ health against severe crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic (Pirutinsky et al, 2021 ).…”

Spiritual Coping of Emergency Department Nurses and Emergency Medical Services Staff During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Iran: An Exploratory Study

2022

Emergency department (ED) nurses and emergency medical services (EMS) staff have been recently exposed to high levels of stress due to the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This increased stress level may influence the physical and mental health of ED nurses and EMS staff and the quality of caregiving to the patients. A spiritual coping approach is one of the most commonly used strategies to help healthcare workers manage stressful events or situations. This study explores the spiritual coping (positive or negative) among ED nurses and EMS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 494 ED/EMS nurses in Ardabil Province in the northwest of Iran, using a convenience sampling method. The spiritual coping questionnaire (SCQ) was used to assess spiritual coping in the subjects. The results of this study showed that ED nurses and EMS staff generally used positive spiritual coping methods to reduce stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple linear regression indicated that workplace ( β = 0.22, p < 0.001), service location ( β = 0.16, p < 0.001), and type of employment ( β = − 0.13, p = 0.012) were significant predictors of positive spiritual coping, and older age ( β = 0.13, p = 0.045), overtime work ( β = 0.12, p = 0.01), and marital status ( β = − 0.12, p = 0.021) were predictors of negative spiritual coping. Our findings indicated that positive religious behavior was the main spiritual coping strategy used by healthcare workers. The findings could help emergency nurse managers to propose future strategies to minimize stress based on the use of spiritual coping strategies and provide time and facilities to pray.

“…In highly developed countries, i.e., Norway or Canada, the prevalence is 8.8% and 9.1%, respectively. In the studies conducted in the Philippines, it was shown that depression affects one in five nurses (Batalla et al, 2019), while one in four nurses in Brazil (Schmidt et al, 2011), and one in three active nurses and India (Shajan and Nisha, 2019). The studies conducted in Yoon and Kim (2013), in Japan by Furihata et al (2020), and in China by Xie et al (2020) showed that 38.0, 41.7, and 43.83% of nurses, respectively, have depression-related symptoms.…”

Background: The nursing profession is predisposed toward depressed mood and depressive symptoms. The multidirectionality and intensity of stressors in the nurses' occupational environment are of great significance in this respect. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of selected sociodemographic factors on depressive symptoms among cardiac nurses.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 336 cardiac nurses (302 women and 34 men) and was conducted between December 2019 and September 2020 in four hospital cardiac units in Wroclaw, Poland. Sociodemographic data were collected using a self-developed survey. The following standardized instruments were used for the study outcomes: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Results: The study among cardiac nurses showed mild depression in 11.61%, moderate depression in 5.06%, and severe depression in 2.68%. Linear regression models showed that significant (p < 0.05) predictors of the PHQ-9 score included (1) higher occupational education (bachelor's degree), graduation “only” from medical high school or “other” education; (2) work experience of 16–20 years; (3) living in a relationship; (4) living in a rural area. Linear regression models showed that significant (p < 0.05) predictors of the BDI score included (1) higher occupational education (bachelor's degree); (2) graduation “only” from medical high school or “other” education; (3) living in a relationship.Conclusions: Depressive symptoms are a significant problem among Polish cardiac nurses. The prevalence of depressive symptoms is affected by the education level, employment form, marital status, and place of residence.

“…Healthcare professionals across the nation report high levels of burnout, depression, and suboptimal health affecting patient safety and healthcare quality (Dyrbye et al, 2017;Jordan, Khubchandani, & Wiblishauser, 2016;Jordan, Nowrouzi-Kia, Gohar, & Nowrouzi, 2015). Nurses have higher rates of substance abuse (Ivey, 2015), are twice as likely to suffer from depression (Batalla et al, 2019;Letvak, Ruhm, & McCoy, 2012;Melnyk et al, 2018), and commit suicide at higher rates (Alderson, Parent-Rocheleau, & Mishara, 2015;Hall, Johnson, Watt, Tsipa, & O'Connor, 2016;Melnyk et al, 2018;Rizzo, 2018) than the national average. In addition, over 50% of nurses report suboptimal physical and mental health (Melnyk et al, 2018).…”

Background In 2017, the National Academy of Medicine convened its Action Collaborative for Clinician Well‐being and Resilience in an effort to stem the epidemic levels of burnout, depression, and suicide among healthcare clinicians. Nurses report higher rates of substance abuse, depression, and suicide than the national average. Newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) report high levels of burnout and stress. Suboptimal health in nurses is linked to medical errors. Few studies address the mental health and lifestyle behaviors of NLRNs or provide evidence‐based solutions to improve these outcomes. Aims This study evaluated the 6‐month effects of the MINDBODYSTRONG for Healthcare Professionals program on the mental health, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and job satisfaction of NLRNs participating in a nurse residency program. Methods A two‐group randomized controlled trial was conducted with 89 NLRNs at a large, Midwestern academic medical center. The intervention group received eight 30– to 35‐min weekly sessions as part of the MINDBODYSTRONG program, a cognitive behavioral skill‐building program incorporating strategies to improve mental and physical health. The control group acted as the attention control group receiving eight weekly 30– to 35‐min debriefing sessions as part of the normal nurse residency program. Results Data were collected at baseline, immediately postintervention, 3 months postintervention, and 6 months postintervention. The intervention group scored better on mental health outcomes, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and job satisfaction at 6 months postintervention than the control group. Significant improvements were found for depressive symptoms and job satisfaction; there were moderate to large positive effects for the MINDBODYSTRONG program on all variables. Linking Evidence to Action The MINDBODYSTRONG program sustained its positive effects across time and has excellent potential as an evidence‐based intervention for improving the mental health, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and job satisfaction in NLRNs.
