“…[19] These types of practical resources may improve health outcomes, thereby eliminating health disparities. [8] Finally, nursing practice should include advocating for health care policies that can address the root cause of food insecurity and poverty. Therefore, nurses must actively support health care policies that can provide innovative solutions to end food insecurity.…”

“…Nursing interventions such as focused assessments aimed at identifying patients who are at risk for food insecurity and patient advocacy are strategies that can help improve health outcomes and eliminate health disparities among this population. [8] Although studies have addressed food insecurities during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies have focused on the perceptions of community stakeholders drawn from various organizations that offer regular food pantries and provide supplemental food to predominantly African American communities in this emergent situation. [6] The purpose of this study was to engage community stakeholders drawn from local pantries, federally funded food programs, health centers, and churches to identify COVID-19 relief services as well as barriers to and facilitators of service delivery for African Americans.…”

COVID-19 increased food insecurity among African Americans. However, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on food access and delivery for this population in Cuyahoga County. The objective of this study was to collect insights into the facilitators of and barriers to food access and delivery from community stakeholders. Methods: A total of 10 in-depth individual interviews with community stakeholders were conducted. Content analysis was used to analyze the interviews. Results: COVID-19 led to immediate and necessary changes to food access and distribution practices. Additionally, the increased utilization of food pantries, limited food supply, and lack of transportation to food pantries were identified as challenges to food access and distribution. However, community stakeholders were able to continue serving the community despite food supply and distribution challenges. Conclusion: This study provided novel insights into the challenges faced by community stakeholders and strategies that can be used to overcome these food dissemination challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses can play a key role in addressing food insecurities in African American communities through nursing assessments and advocacy.

IntroductionNurses experience significant physical and psychological stress that negatively influences their psychological well-being. The objective of this study was to explore the association between self-efficacy and psychological well-being among Chinese nurses and to assess the moderating effects of perceived social support (PSS).MethodsIn 2020, a hospital-based cross-sectional study using a multistage random sampling approach was performed in five regions of Liaoning, China. Of the 1,200 surveyed nurses, 1,010 completed questionnaires that evaluated the demographic information, 14-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. To examine the factors associated with mental health parameters, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed. The interactions were visualized using a simple slope analysis.ResultsThe mean depression and anxiety scores for Chinese nurses were 8.74 ± 3.50 and 6.18 ± 3.26, respectively. The association between self-efficacy and depression differed between the low perceived social support (PSS) group (1 SD below the mean, β = −0.169, p < 0.01) and high PSS group (1 SD above the mean, β = −0.077, p < 0.01). Similarly, the association between self-efficacy and anxiety differed between the low PSS group (1 SD below the mean, β = −0.155, p < 0.01) and high PSS group (1 SD above the mean, β = −0.044, p < 0.01).ConclusionWe found that Chinese nurses experienced high levels of anxiety and depression. Furthermore, PSS moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological well-being. Therefore, interventions targeting self-efficacy and PSS should be implemented to improve the psychological well-being of nurses.
