Polska pielęgniarka w czasie pandemii zakażeń SARS-CoV-2 – różne perspektywy wykonywania zawodu

Contemporary health determinants require nurses to develop new competencies and skills while performing complex tasks in all forms of health care. The problem of rationing of care is present all over the world and usually occurs when available resources are too low to provide adequate care to all patients. The most common reasons for loss of care are shortages of nurses, use of modern treatment methods, increased demand for care by a large number of patients, and greater knowledge of patients about their rights. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 295 nurses employed in hospital wards. The survey was conducted from September to December 2020 using the standardized BERNCA (The Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care) questionnaire to measure the level of rationing of nursing care. The research was hampered by the sanitation regime associated with the SARS CoV-2 pandemic. Nursing care rationing is dependent on seniority and place of work. The mean total BERNCA score of the degree of rationing of nursing care was 2.58 ± 0.96 on a scale of 0 to 4 (where 0 means “no need for it” and 4 means “often”. The median score was 2.69. The higher frequency of rationing nursing care was characteristic of those working on surgical wards. The mean score obtained by them was 2.72 ± 0.86, with the median equal to 2.88. In the case of nurses employed in non-surgical wards, the scores were 2.08 ± 1.07 and 2.28, respectively. Rationing of nursing care is dependent on seniority and work location, with a higher degree of rationing of care occurring in surgical units.

“…Fearing of the loved ones and to protect them for possible infection, some of the nursing staff decided to stay in hotels. Some were forced to temporarily leave their homes, due to being redeployed to work in single-named hospitals, even hundreds of kilometers away from their place of residence ( 4 ). Additional matter experienced by the medical staff was stigmatization, rejection and aggression from the surrounding society, often not only aimed at them directly, yet at their families too ( 4 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the work of many medical professionals, including the group of nurses. This study aimed at assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on job satisfaction of nursing staff in five European countries. The study was conducted using the Job Satisfaction Scale (SSP) and original questions on the job satisfaction. The cross-sectional online study was conducted with a sample of 1,012 professionally active nurses working in Poland, Germany, Italy, Great Britain and Sweden, who assessed their job satisfaction before (retrospectively) and during the pandemic. The results showed a significant decrease in job satisfaction due to the need to perform it during the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In 8 out of 10 examined parameters of job satisfaction, a statistically significant decrease in job satisfaction was observed at the level of p < 0.05. Among the examined factors influencing job satisfaction, the highest decrease was recorded based on the assessment of working conditions (1,480). A high level of satisfaction with the work of nurses has a significant impact on providing better patient care as well as reducing the risk of professional burnout of nurses.

Introduction: For healthcare professionals, working during the coronavirus pandemic is a psychological burden. One aspect of the pandemic is the compulsory quarantine or isolation related to suspected or contracting COVID-19.Aim of the study: The aim of this research is to analyze the subjective feelings and experiences of workers in emergency departments and emergency medical teams that were subjected to quarantine or isolation during the first stage of the pandemic. Material and methods:The research was performed from December 2020 to February 2021 using a survey questionnaire among the workers of the Emergency Medical Services, who in the first stage of the pandemic have undergone quarantine as a result of suspected COVID-19 infection. 89 workers were included in this study. Most of the participants worked in the ED. The mean age of the participants was 31.5 ± 8.94 years. The mean value of the entities' work experience was 8.4 ± 9.6 years.Conclusions: Medical staff undergoing quarantine experience feelings of a different mood, anxiety, irritability, anxiety, and stress. After quarantine, they valued their health and contact with other people. Medical personnel did not use psychological assistance during quarantine. Employee isolation can be a source of both positive and negative experience. The experience of quarantine was influenced by the gender, form of employment, place of work, and age of the respondents. There is a need for further research on the mental well-being of healthcare professionals and coping with stress in crisis situations.
