“…11 According to data from the World Health Organization, 115,000 health care workers, mostly nurses, died of COVID-19 between January 2020 and May 2021. 24 Considering the fact that the highest deaths occur in the units where COVID patients are hospitalized, 25 we can say that the fear experienced by nurses toward COVID-19 is a natural emotion.…”

Objectives It is clear that COVID-19, and especially its highly infectious nature, has caused fear, anxiety, and worry for nurses performing active duty during the pandemic. It has thus been a matter of interest to investigate into how care behaviors have been affected by the various emotions that continue to be felt in this period. This study aimed to examine the impact of nurses’ fear of COVID-19 on their nursing care behavior during the pandemic. Methods The data of this descriptive and cross-sectional designed study were collected from 450 nurses providing one-on-one care (at university, public, or private hospital) to COVID-19 patients from January to March 2021 and who had consented to participate in the study. A Personal Data Form, the “Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (CBI-24),” and the “Fear of COVID-19 Scale” were used in the data collection. Results The overall mean score of the nurses on the Caring Behaviors Inventory was 5.08 ± 0.59. An examination of the subscales showed that the nurses’ highest scores were in the knowledge and skills subscale, whereas they scored the lowest in the loyalty subscale. The overall mean score of the nurses on the Fear of COVID-19 Scale was 18.52 ± 5.43. A negative, significant, and very weak relationship was found between the nurses’ levels of fear of coronavirus and their care behaviors (r = −0.107, P < 0.05). Conclusions Data show that nurses providing care to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic feared COVID-19, that their care behaviors were generally at a good level, and that the care behaviors of nurses with a high degree of fear of COVID-19 were negatively and significantly impacted.

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been a global public health issue. This study aimed to characterize global nursing research on SARS-CoV-2. Methodology: Nursing-related publications through December 31, 2022, were identified using Scopus. The number of studies, study types, countries, institutions, journals, authors, h-index, total confirmed cases, total deaths, and the highest-cited studies were investigated. Results: In total, 12,427 studies were identified. The number of studies increased rapidly, particularly between 2020 and 2021, with a 2.36–fold increase. The United States published the most studies (3,289, 26.47%), followed by the United Kingdom (1,059, 8.52%) and China (877, 7.06%). Scientific productivity significantly correlated with the total confirmed cases (r = 0.701, p = 0.024) and total deaths (r = 0.804, p = 0.005). The United States had the highest h-index (80), followed by China (59), and the United Kingdom (57). The University of Toronto published the most studies (181), followed by Harvard Medical School (165), and the University of São Paulo (107). Gravenstein S (23) was the most prolific author, followed by Mor V (22), and Rosa WE (19). The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health published the most papers (436), followed by PLOS ONE (219), and BMJ Open (185). Conclusions: Several countries, institutions, journals, and authors contributed greatly to SARS-CoV-2-related nursing studies. Countries with larger numbers of confirmed cases and deaths tended to publish more nursing studies. The United States, United Kingdom, and China had the highest quantity and quality of studies.

The recent migration of public nursing colleges from the Department of Health to the higher education sector in South Africa has compelled nursing institutions to ensure that their programs meet the Council of Higher Education requirements. One of these requirements is comprehensive student support services in line with the prerogative to widen access and success in higher education. Public Nursing Colleges have reported having systems to provide academic and non-academic support to their students. However, there is limited empirical research on lecturers’ and students’ perspectives on conditions that influence the utilization of available student support services in nursing colleges. Hence, this research explores organisational conditions that influence the utilization of student support services from the perspectives of lecturers and students at three selected campuses in the province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The research methodology is qualitative, in which a purposive sampling of 21 participants involved individual interviews. The interview of lecturers was due to their expected role in identifying and implementing some of the student support services. The students were involved in the study because they are the ones who benefit from the existence of such services and should therefore be in a better position to report on organisational conditions that enable utilization. Data analysis was thematic as guided by the academic and non-academic areas of student support services expected of nursing colleges. There was high agreement on the availability of systems to provide academic and non-academic student support services. However, there were limited coordinated, standardized, and structured efforts to implement them at different colleges. More so, lecturers reported a shortage of critical resources. The findings suggest improving conditions to utilize student support services effectively. It should help ensure that student support activities are well-coordinated, comprehensive, and aligned with policy.
