“…By seeing people's positive reactions and social support, they felt respected and proud, thus leading to the social development of the nursing profession. Taghinezhad et al ( 2020 ) expressed that the media and the public respect the efforts made by Iranian nurses in the fight against COVID‐19 and thus strengthen the nurses' social status. Other positive experiences include moral development and commitment to care, even during crises.…”

“…These positive experiences gave nurses a better understanding of life and its values, as they turned some negative challenges into positive and constructive ones that can help develop humanistic behaviours. The proper management of the situation in this pandemic can contribute to the realization of humanistic nursing (Taghinezhad et al, 2020 ).…”

Aim This study was conducted to discover the organisational and managerial challenges of nurses recovered from COVID‐19. Background Nurses, who are at the front line of fighting against COVID‐19, face numerous organisational and managerial challenges that impose a burden on their already heavy burden of infection. Working in challenging situations can affect the quality of nursing care. Methods This qualitative study was conducted through an interpretive phenomenological approach. To collect the data, 18 semistructured interviews were held with 15 recovered nurses, which were then analysed using van Manen's method. Results The data analysis led to the extraction of four themes: nurses as victims of organisational prejudice, a profession surrounded by problems, insufficient sources for dealing with COVID‐19 and post‐COVID‐19 development. Conclusion This study showed the organisational and managerial challenges of recovered nurses from COVID‐19. Although these nurses had positive experiences, they needed eliminating organisational prejudice, minimizing concerns and sufficient resources to deal with the crisis. Implications for nursing management It is believed that these results can be used as a guide to nurse managers to improve the experience of recovered nurses from COVID‐19 by treating all employees with equal kindness, considering to their problems and minimizing burden by actively providing resources.

“…[ 6 ] During the recent pandemic, the actual position of the profession was recognized by the people, officials, and media. [ 32 ] Also, new financial and organizational incentives such as increasing the number of government employers of nurses and positive motivation resulting from patients’ recovery are among the things that can be considered in interpreting the relative satisfaction of Iranian nurses. Along with these results, in the study of Ruiz-Fernández et al .…”

Background: With the prolonged COVID-19 disease control time, concerns about the caring ability of clinically exposed nurses have increased. This study aimed to investigate Compassion Satisfaction (CS), Burnout (BO), and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) as elements of Professional Quality of Life among nurses in COVID-19 settings. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive online national survey, 427 clinical nurses who had worked in the COVID-19 wards from all Iran provinces answered the Persian version of the Professional Quality of Life Scale as the profile tool with three subscales, including CS, BO, and STS. Data were collected using email, Short Message Service (SMS), and social networks from December 2020 to February 2021. Results: The mean (SD) score of CS was 38.86 (9.00), the mean (SD) score of BO was 18.60 (4.08), and STS was 34.74 (7.02). STS was substantially more prevalent among married nurses whose Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests were positive for themselves or at least one family member (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Clinical nurses who respond to the COVID-19 crisis are at risk of STS and BO. In pandemic situations like COVID-19, it is necessary to consider supportive interventions to increase satisfaction and reduce burnout and secondary traumatic stress in nurses.

“…Although the pandemic caused chaos in the provision of nursing care in terms of working conditions (disinfection, overalls, masks and shields, gloves, goggles and PPE) and made nursing work even more exhausting both physically and emotionally, it also created an opportunity to elevate the public image of the nursing profession [13][14][15]. The reason for this is that over past two years, the critical roles and responsibilities of nurses during the pandemic expanded dramatically and came under increased scrutiny.…”

The social perception of the nursing profession in Poland is profoundly affected by social stereotypes that may discourage young people from entering the profession and lead to prejudice towards nurses. During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses gained visibility, which caused the social image of nurses to likewise grow. In this study, we explore nurses’ experiences with respect to how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the social image of nursing. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fifteen hospital nurses. Three major themes emerged: (1) social attitudes towards nurses during the pandemic, (2) nurses’ perception of the impact of the pandemic on the social image of the nursing profession and (3) the impact of the pandemic on nurses’ mental health. Although the pandemic promoted the image of nursing to the general public, nurses were disappointed that in the face of the healthcare crisis and the constant threat, they had to struggle with difficult working conditions and professional, social and economic recognition. This study therefore stresses the duty of policy makers to undertake a systemic approach to improving the organisation of health care and increase nurses’ safety by providing them with a safe working environment and prepare them better for the next health crisis.
