“…This study emphasized the importance of addressing HCW mental health needs, especially those with prior diagnoses of mental illness, to mitigate insomnia during the COVID-19 pandemic [21] . Moreover, other studies have shown the importance of interventions, including organizational support, psychosocial support, and enhancing psychological flexibility, which can mitigate the adverse effects of burnout [22] – [25] . In addition, educational attainment, job satisfaction, intrinsic motivation, and loyalty (i.e., “we are family” theme among HCW and value of supportive collegial relationships as well as supportive working environments) play an important role in coping with stress related to COVID-19 [22] – [25] .…”

<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>

“…The 23 included studies employed a diverse set of measurement tools to evaluate job satisfaction. Among these tools were the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale ( 23 , 26 ), the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire ( 25 ), the Turkish Job Satisfaction Scale ( 31 ), the Job Satisfaction Scale ( 24 ), the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire ( 32 ), the Nursing Questionnaire on Organizational Health ( 22 ), and the Brayfield and Rothe’s 5-item Short Index of Job Satisfaction ( 33 ). Some of the researchers though opted for a single item scale to gauge job satisfaction ( 27 , 29 , 30 , 34 – 38 ).…”

BackgroundThe global healthcare landscape was profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic placing nurses squarely at the heart of this emergency. This review aimed to identify the factors correlated with nurses’ job satisfaction, the impact of their job satisfaction on both themselves and their patients, and to explore strategies that might have counteracted their job dissatisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThe Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews of prevalence and incidence was used in this review. The electronic databases of CINAHL, MEDLINE, SCOPUS, PsycINFO and Academic Search Complete were searched between January 2020 to February 2023.ResultsThe literature review identified 23 studies from 20 countries on nurses’ job satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic. A pooled prevalence of 69.6% of nurses were satisfied with personal, environmental, and psychological factors influencing their job satisfaction. Job satisfaction improved psychological wellbeing and quality of life, while dissatisfaction was linked to turnover and mental health issues.ConclusionThis systematic review elucidates key factors impacting nurses’ job satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, its effects on healthcare provision, and the potential countermeasures for job dissatisfaction. Core influences include working conditions, staff relationships, and career opportunities. High job satisfaction correlates with improved patient care, reduced burnout, and greater staff retention.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023405947, the review title has been registered in PROSPERO and the registration number is CRD42023405947.

“…3 Evidence suggests that a psychiatric epidemic is cooccurring with the COVID-19 pandemic, 4 which may necessitate attention to improving access to psychotropic drugs. Several psychopathologies, such as anxiety and depression, 5,6 increased during the pandemic in addition to other conditions, including burnout 7 and post-traumatic stress disorder. 8 Eating disorders and violence rates also grew, requiring substantial management through psychotropics.…”

Background: Despite the efforts of the health system to improve access to medications during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, such as online consultations, encouraging generic prescriptions, and other measures to limit the storage of medication, psychotropic patients faced significant challenges in accessing their medications. Objectives: This study aimed (1) to compare the consumption of psychotropics before and during the pandemic, (2) to assess the association between having difficulties finding the medications and the general characteristics of the patients, and (3) to assess the predictors of these difficulties. Design: A case–control study was performed in which 128 patients (cases) were recruited during the pandemic (July–October 2021), and 256 patients (controls) using psychotropics before the pandemic were matched for age and sex. Methods: Data were collected using a uniform survey given to patients using psychotropics and filled out at their time and place preferences. Results: More patients used antipsychotics and anti-anxiety medications before the pandemic, while antidepressants were used more during the pandemic. Almost half of the patients reported facing difficulties finding their medications in both time frames. Before the pandemic, these difficulties were noted per increase in age and being employed and were less faced if patients had medical assistance or lived in the north of Lebanon. However, more patients reported having difficulties accessing their medication during the pandemic, with no significant differences. Conclusion: The consumption of psychotropic drugs was higher among cases. All patients faced challenges in accessing their medication throughout the pandemic, while older and employed patients had more limitations before the pandemic. Further investigations exploring viable solutions are recommended in order to maintain sustainable access to treatment.
