This study explored the anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy of nurses in Wuhan, China 2 years after the corona virus disease 2019 outbreak. A total of 552 nurses were enrolled in the study. Four well-established test tools were applied: The 9-item patient health questionnaire, The 7-item generalized anxiety disorder, generalized self-efficacy scale, Connor Davidson resilience scale. Twenty-eight points twenty-six percentage of the nurses had mild depression, and 5.62% had moderate or severe depression. Twenty-one points seventy-four percentage of nurses had mild anxiety and 1.82% had moderate or severe anxiety. The average score of self-efficacies is negatively correlated with the average score of the 9-item patient health questionnaire (r = −0.303, P < .01), and the7-item generalized anxiety disorder (r = −0.275, P < .01). The average score of self-efficacies is correlated with the resilience score (R = 0.799, P < .01). Through multiple linear regression analysis, the tenacity dimension and monthly income are most closely related to the sense of self-efficacy. Nurses self-efficacy and resilience are important factors in promoting their psychological well-being. This study suggests that increasing the salary and providing some strategies to increase nurses mental tenacity can promote self-efficacy.

“…A burnout workforce may negatively impact patients and organisational outcomes; therefore, health care system policymakers and managers must provide adequate evidence‐based interventions to support workers' well‐being (Hofmeyer et al, 2020 ). Several studies encourage nurse managers to focus on organisation and communication (Duncan, 2020 ; Franck, Goossens, et al, 2021 ; Franck, Haegdorens, et al, 2021 ; Nelson & Lee‐Winn, 2020 ). Individual or group debriefing is an information‐sharing and event‐processing session conducted as a conversation and that is considered good practice after a disaster or after an adverse event (Debra & Romana, 2007 ).…”

Aims To estimate the prevalence of burnout risk among nurses during the peak of the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic in Belgium and to identify risk groups and protective and risk factors. Background Nurses are at high risk of burnout, and this can have negative consequences for them, patients and health care systems. The pandemic may have changed their working conditions and increased their risk of burnout. Methods The risk of burnout was assessed through the Maslach Burnout Inventory Scale. Information on socio‐demographic and working conditions during the pandemic was also collected. We obtained 4552 respondents through convenience sampling. Results A high risk of burnout was found in 70% of respondents. The main risk factors of burnout were the lack of personal protective equipment, changes in perceived workload and working with COVID‐19 patients. Conclusions An uneven workload for nurses is an underlying problem during the COVID‐19 pandemic and a significant risk factor for their burnout. The decreased workload is a risk factor for burnout as important as increased workload and repeated exposure to COVID‐19. Implications for Nursing Management Burnout prevention and treatment interventions must target the correct risk factors and identify nurses at risk to be cost‐effective.

Objective Previous studies have shown that an increased prevalence of mental illness can be found among medical and dental students. Among these, somatization symptoms are severely understudied. The present study examined the prevalence of somatization symptoms in a subpopulation of medical and dental students and aimed at finding associated risk and resilience factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-reporting questionnaire, including the SOMS-2, the Becks-Depression-Inventory-II (BDI-II), the NEO-Five-Factor-Inventory, and a questionnaire on socio-demographics for possible risk and resilience factors. A total of 271 medical and dental students of a mid-sized German university completed the questionnaire. Results The Somatization index yielded a mean of 9.12 symptoms for the total sample, which is 1.2 SD higher than the reported norm. A total of 50.7% of the medical students and 63.6% of the dental students transcend a critical somatization score. Significant positive associations for eight general risk factors, four university related stress factors, and a significant negative association for seven resilience factors were found. Conclusion Medical and even more dental students at the studied university showed a high burden of somatoform complaints. Also, factors were found that could be of etiological relevance and others that could be used to enhance resilience. Both could present an opportunity for the prevention of somatization disorders but prospective and multicenter studies with an aged-matched comparison group are needed to obtain a more accurate overview.
