The data were collected using demographic questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐28), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7‐item (GAD‐7), Impact of Event Scale‐Revised (IES‐R), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale (CD‐RISC).ResultsThe results showed that not being at risk of coronavirus infection, poor/no satisfaction with life and non‐resilience were significantly associated with higher psychological disorders. The coronavirus disease has significant consequences for the mental health of nurses. The factors affecting the mental health of nurses should be considered to support nurses in crises such as coronavirus. Provision of effective psychological interventions for nurses can be one of the effective solutions.
