“…In line with the findings of the present study, von Vogelsang et al [ 59 ], who investigated the deficiencies in nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic at inpatient wards, highlighted the crucial role of lower patients’ admissions and the maintenance of nurse/patient ratio. However, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the standards of care at non-COVID wards were regarded to be inadequate [ 60 ]. Even more, the pandemic crisis raised issues of inconsistencies in nursing care and low nursing performance due to nurses’ mental health symptoms [ 61 , 62 ].…”

During the COVID-19 outbreak, nurses employed in the clinical sector faced a number of difficulties associated with excessive workload, increased stress, and role ambiguity, which impacted nurses themselves and patient care. The aim of the present study was to investigate how Greek hospital nurses working in non-COVID units experienced the virus outbreak during the first wave of the pandemic. A descriptive qualitative research design was applied using a content analysis approach. To recruit the study participants a purposive sampling strategy was used. Ten nurses participated in the study. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. Content analysis revealed three themes namely, (a) emotional burden, (b) professional commitment, and (c) abrupt changes. Six subthemes were formulated and assimilated under each main theme respectively. Organizational changes, emotional burdens and feelings of fear and uncertainty, appeared to have a crucial effect on nurses and patient care. However, the professional commitment and the nurses’ effort to provide excellent nursing care remained high. Nurses demonstrated that despite the burdens caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, the pandemic era created opportunities for thoroughness and accuracy in nursing care.

“…Besides the abovementioned facts and research outcomes, pandemics can severely impact the healthcare system including the workforce (i.e., nurses) through exposure ( Ives et al, 2009 ; Seale et al, 2009 ). A recent study conducted in Stockholm, Sweden ( Nymark et al, 2021 ) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic revealed more overtime hours and absence from work amongst registered nurses and nurse assistants. Also, patient safety and quality of care were perceived worse among them ( Nymark et al, 2021 ).…”

Introduction COVID-19 is the most recent coronavirus diseases that was first identified in December 2019 and began its exponential spread globally. The critical role of nurses can be severely impacted during pandemics such as COVID-19 when the world is less prepared. Objective To investigate and measure COVID-19 patients’ satisfaction levels with the quality of nursing care provided in the Riyadh Province of Saudi Arabia. Methods The study used a cross-sectional questionnaire to collect data from COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized or quarantined for at least 48 h or more. The study utilized the Arabic version of the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ-Ar) to assess patients’ satisfaction levels with nursing care. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to examine the objectives of the study. Results Ninety-six patients reported relatively high satisfaction levels with the overall nursing care. Patients also reported high satisfaction levels with the provided care, and the information that was provided. There were statistically significant differences in the mean score of patients satisfaction in relation to age, educational level, where patients are originally from, and patients recommendation of the hospitals. Conclusions Individual characteristics and attributes played a role in the process of evaluating nursing care services. Measuring nursing care quality clarified the significant role of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides valuable information that could help in identifying weaknesses and reinforcing strengths about nursing care to be fully prepared against pandemics and other health-related crises and emergencies in the future.

“…Additionally, the indicators with the most significant negative impact were those of screening, such as the indicator of diabetic foot screening ( 11 ). Then a survey study among registered nurses and nurse assistants at a cardiology department in Sweden reports that the nursing staff in the COVID-19 pandemic perceived the quality of care to be lower than before it started ( 21 ). Overall, 75% of oncology patients from the Netherlands stated in an online survey that the COVID-19 pandemic did not influence their contact with the hospital.…”

This article aims to provide a short review of the available data on the quality of healthcare services in selected European countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodologyThe research was done by the use of online databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. All the studies focused on the quality of healthcare services, yet the studies used different methods to measure this quality. In addition, the results of the authors' survey on the assessment of the quality of healthcare services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were presented.ResultsAmong twelve studies, four were from the United Kingdom and one each of Catalonia, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium.
