<abstract><sec> <title>Background</title> With its abrupt and huge health and socio-economic consequences, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a uniquely demanding, intensely stressful, and even traumatic period. Healthcare workers (HCW), especially nurses, were exposed to mental health challenges during those challenging times. </sec><sec> <title>Objectives</title> Review the current literature on mental health problems among nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. </sec><sec> <title>Methods</title> This is a narrative review and critical evaluation of relevant publications. </sec><sec> <title>Results</title> Nurses experienced higher levels of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, frustration, stigma, and depersonalization compared to other HCW. Factors that increased this symptomatology included concerns about infection or infection of family members, inadequate staff protective equipment, extended working hours, insufficient information, a reduced sense of security, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The factors that improved the psychopathology included a general positive attitude, job satisfaction, adequate information and education, harmonious group relationships, post-traumatic development, emotional intelligence, psychological counseling, mindfulness-based stress reduction, stable leadership, guidance, and moral and practical administrative support. </sec><sec> <title>Conclusions</title> Recent studies clearly show that nurses, especially women, are the most vulnerable subgroup among HCW and are particularly prone to mental health impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The documented mental health vulnerability of frontline nursing staff during the COVID-19 pandemic requires preventive nursing management actions to increase resilience and to develop relevant defense mechanisms. </sec></abstract>

“…Therefore, as the level of optimism increases, the emotional exhaustion caused by COVID-19 decreases, but this decrease was significantly exacerbated by stress. The purpose of the research of González-Nuevo et al [10] was the investigation of professional quality of life and fear of COVID-19 among Spanish nurses. A total of 439 registered nurses participated in this survey in December 2020 and 410 in December 2021 via an online survey.…”

Background: With the demanding nature of their work, healthcare professionals often face challenges that can affect their overall well-being. Understanding the factors that affect their quality of life is crucial to developing effective interventions and support systems. Aim: The present systematic review investigated the relationship between quality of life, fatigue, and social support among healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The search for studies included in the study was performed using four online databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search was limited to articles published in English between January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2023. In total, 14 articles were included in the systematic review. Results: The findings of this work showed a negative correlation between fatigue and quality of life in health professionals, as well as a positive correlation between social support and quality of life. Furthermore, it was found that the increased social support of healthcare professionals during the period of COVID-19 is associated with a better quality of professional life. Conclusion: It seems that higher levels of social support are associated with lower levels of anxiety and depression among health professionals.

“…According to Steel (2008) , while samples collected over different periods may not overlap, valid inferences can be made about overall worthwhile changes based on repeated cross-sectional designs ( Steel, 2008 ). Repeated cross-sectional designs can overcome the difficulties of longitudinal data collection, especially in the special context of a pandemic, where a high degree of overlap between samples may not be necessary for trends in college students’ mental health over time ( González-Nuevo et al, 2024 ). However, the limitations of this study need to be pointed out to improve subsequent research.…”

BackgroundThe long-term impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and well-being of college students, specifically trends over time after full removal of COVID-19 restrictions, has not been well-studied.MethodsFour consecutive cross-sectional surveys were conducted in December 2022 (N = 689), March 2023 (N = 456), June 2023 (N = 300), and November 2023 (N = 601) at a university in Sichuan Province, China.ResultsThe proportion of students with COVID-19 panic decreased from 95.1 to 77.3% (p < 0.001). The prevalence of moderate anxiety and above decreased from 18 to 13.6% (p < 0.001), and the prevalence of moderate and above depression decreased from 33.1 to 28.1% (p < 0.001), while the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) increased from 21.5 to 29.6% (p < 0.005). Further, the proportion of suicidal thoughts increased from 7.7 to 14.8% (p < 0.001). Suicidal thoughts and self-injuries were significantly associated with COVID-19 panic, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Students who reported being in close contact with COVID-19 patients in the past were more likely to develop PTSD. Further, COVID-19-induced panic was a risk factor for self-injury.ConclusionOne year after the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall mental health of college students was not optimal. Hence, we can conclude that the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on the mental health of college students may have already occurred. To mitigate this impact and prepare for the next major public health event, strengthening college students’ mental health curricula and promoting healthy behaviors among college students should be a priority for universities and education authorities.
