Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in early career nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: A longitudinal survey study.

To investigate the mental well-being of early career nurses working in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular emphasis on symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder. A longitudinal survey study. Data were acquired at three timepoints during the COVID-19 pandemic (between May 2020 and March 2021) to determine whether symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder persisted over time. Quantitative measures of well-being were supplemented with survey data on the nurses' experiences of working during the pandemic. Twenty-seven per cent of participants suffered from persistent symptoms of post-traumatic stress while working as nurses during the pandemic. The nurses' baseline resilience, as well as their perception of the quality of their work environment, were significant negative predictors of symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Participants identified a range of strategies that would have helped them during the crisis, including visible, consistent and empathetic leadership, adequate training and a supportive work environment. The context of the pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability of the psychological well-being of early career nurses in the workforce. Immediate implementation of some of the more simple interventions suggested in this paper would provide early career nurses with rapid support. More complex support mechanisms should be given immediate consideration, with a view to implementation in the longer term. This study contributes new knowledge about the psychological well-being of early career nurses working during the pandemic and suggests support mechanisms that will be crucial for the retention of these nurses in the profession. A measurement of resilience may be useful for determining the appropriate level of support to provide to early career nurses. Early career nurses are vulnerable to attrition from the profession. This could be exacerbated if the psychological well-being of these nurses is not being supported. Around 25% of early career nurses suffered from persistent symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder while working as nurses during the height of the pandemic, which is a novel finding compared to other longitudinal studies. Understanding the psychological well-being of early career nurses working during a crisis period (such as a pandemic) equips nurse managers with appropriate strategies to improve nurses' emotional health and to enhance their retention within the workforce. The current findings may be of interest to clinical practitioners who have responsibility for the retention of nursing staff. No patient or public contribution. One of the authors is a statistician.

Work Engagement: Psychological Well-Being dan Perceived Organizational Support Perawat di Daerah 3T

Nurses are one of the health professions that have a big responsibility in providing care and treatment to patients. However, the success of the nursing profession is inseparable from the level of work engagement of nurses towards the profession they are engaged in. Work engagement is a concept that describes the extent to which an employee feels attached to his job, the organization where they work, and the personal satisfaction he feels from his job. This study aims to examine the effect of psychological well-being and perceived organizational support on the work engagement of nurses at puskesmas with ASN status in the 3T area of X District, East Indonesia. The population in this study were puskesmas nurses who worked in X District, Eastern Indonesia with ASN status. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The measurement tool used consists of three scales, namely the work engagement scale, the perceived organizational support scale and the psychological well-being scale. The analysis technique used in this study uses multiple linear analysis. The results of the analysis show a value of p = 0.000 (p <0.01), which indicates that psychological well-being and perceived organizational support can very significantly affect work engagement. The first minor hypothesis test has a significance value of 0.000 <0.01, which means that psychological well-being has a positive and very significant effect on work engagement. The results of the second minor hypothesis test have a significance value of 0.003 <0.01, meaning that perceived organizational support has a positive and very significant effect on work engagement. These findings indicate that when the psychological well-being of nurses is in good condition, the level of work engagement they have will also be good.

"Like fighting a fire with a water pistol": A qualitative study of the work experiences of critical care nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To understand the experience of critical care nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, through the application of the Job-Demand-Resource model of occupational stress. Qualitative interview study. Twenty-eight critical care nurses (CCN) working in ICU in the UK NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic took part in semi-structured interviews between May 2021 and May 2022. Interviews were guided by the constructs of the Job-Demand Resource model. Data were analysed using framework analysis. The most difficult job demands were the pace and amount, complexity, physical and emotional effort of their work. Prolonged high demands led to CCN experiencing emotional and physical exhaustion, burnout, post-traumatic stress symptoms and impaired sleep. Support from colleagues and supervisors was a core job resource. Sustained demands and impaired physical and psychological well-being had negative organizational consequences with CCN expressing increased intention to leave their role. The combination of high demands and reduced resources had negative impacts on the psychological well-being of nurses which is translating into increased consideration of leaving their profession. The full impacts of the pandemic on the mental health of CCN are unlikely to resolve without appropriate interventions. Managers of healthcare systems should use these findings to inform: (i) the structure and organization of critical care workplaces so that they support staff to be well, and (ii) supportive interventions for staff who are carrying significant psychological distress as a result of working during and after the pandemic. These changes are required to improve staff recruitment and retention. We used the COREQ guidelines for reporting qualitative studies. Six CCN provided input to survey content and interview schedule. Two authors and members of the study team (T.S. and S.C.) worked in critical care during the pandemic.

Authentic Leadership and Psychological Well-Being of Nurses: A Mediated Moderation Model

Aims. This study investigates how authentic leadership influences the psychological well-being of Australian nurses. We examined whether authentic leadership could reduce the prevalence of workplace incivility and tested whether shared values and person-organization (P-O) fit could moderate the relationship between workplace incivility and psychological well-being (PWB). A mediated moderation model underpinned by social learning theory was developed to test the influence of authentic leadership on PWB. Design. We adopted a descriptive correlational research design to test the hypothesized model with a cross-sectional sample of Australian nurses using an online survey. Data were collected across two-waves separated by a six-month interval (N = 230, response rate = 38.3%) to minimize the potential effects of common source bias. The hypotheses were tested using Hayes Process Macro (Model 14) on IBM SPSS. Results. The hypothesized model had good fit indices and supported the mediated moderation model. There was no support for the direct association between authentic leadership and PWB. The supervisor authentic leadership behavior was negatively associated with workplace incivility and PWB. The association between incivility and PWB was positively associated with P-O fit. Nurses with high P-O fit reacted strongly to the positive effect of authentic leadership in reducing workplace incivility, such that they experienced higher levels of PWB. Conclusion. Authentic leadership behavior is important in the healthcare workplace. It reduces workplace incivility and improves PWB for nurses with high levels of congruence. Implications: our study suggests that senior management should deploy strategies through which frontline supervisors can learn and enact authentic leadership behaviors. They will then be better equipped to improve the PWB of their followers by minimizing the prevalence of workplace incivility. Impact: the study found a significant indirect relationship between authentic leadership behavior and psychological well-being, as mediated by workplace incivility and moderated by person-organization fit. The findings highlight the importance of positive leadership behaviors on the well-being outcomes of nurses in Australia.

Influence of Musical Activity on the Embitterment and Psychological Well-Being of Nurses

The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of frontline medical staff complaining of problems such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia, thereby requiring urgent psychological support. Nurses are particularly exposed to various stressors and difficult environments, witnessing patients’ pain, frustration, and death, while helping them recover. Music is known to be effective in inducing psychological stability by activating brain waves, relaxing the body, and alleviating negative reactions. This study examines how musical activities affect embitterment and psychological well-being among nurses and nursing students who suffer from various psychological difficulties. This study finds that musical activity helps nurses’ psychological stability by lowering their embitterment index and increasing their psychological well-being. Further, the greater the music listening time is, the higher is the psychological well-being, indicating the necessity of increasing the music listening time and encouraging more musical activities for the psychological stability of nurses in the future.

The Mediating Role of Cognitive Flexibility in the Relationship Between Job Stress and Psychological Wellbeing of Nurses

Background & Aims: One of the health-related problems in the workplace is job-related stress. Nursing is one of the professions in which nurses experience a lot of stress. Long-term work stress harms nurses' physical and mental health and reduces their psychological well-being. One of the variables that seem to explain this relationship is cognitive flexibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress and psychological well-being with the mediating role of cognitive flexibility. Materials & Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional correlational study. The statistical population included all nurses working in hospitals in Isfahan in 2019. Using a cluster sampling method, four hospitals in Isfahan (Kashani, Chamran, Khorshid, and Hojjatieh) were randomly selected. Then four wards were via lottery method selected from each hospital, randomly and 150 questionnaires were distributed among all of the nurses of those wards. The research tool consisted of four questionnaires. 1- Demographic questionnaire 2- HSE Job Stress 3- Short Form of Ryff Psychological Wellbeing Questionnaire 4- Cognitive flexibility. To analyze the data, SPSS software version 16 and the proposed steps of Baron and Kenny were used by the hierarchical regression method. Results: The regression analysis results showed that in the first stage, job stress with beta (β = -0.42) is a significant predictor of psychological well-being. In the second stage, job stress and cognitive flexibility variables predicted psychological well-being with beta (β = -0.21 and β = 0.54), respectively. Since the beta of job stress decreased in the second stage compared to the first stage, the partial mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between job stress and psychological well-being was confirmed. Conclusion: Most people can cope with stress for a short time, but chronic stress causes changes in physiological and psychological status, the consequences of which can decrease psychological well-being. It seems that some factors play a mediating role in the relationship between job stress and psychological well-being, including cognitive flexibility, which was examined and confirmed in this study. In this regard, it is suggested that sessions be held with the aim of cognitive training flexibility to nurses, and its effectiveness on increasing psychological well-being is examined.

Photovoice Exploration of Frontline Nurses' Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The current COVID-19 global pandemic has had a profound impact on the health care system and on the physical and psychological well-being of nurses. Previous pandemics have led to nurses leaving the profession. Therefore, it is important that we hear the voices of nurses who experienced the pandemic on the frontlines to influence future planning and policy development. The purpose of this study was to explore frontline nurses' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic through photos, narratives, and group discussions. Twelve nurses in two groups shared their lived experiences through Photovoice, a participatory action approach. Photos and narratives were collected over five weeks per group. One group at the beginning of the pandemic and the other group six months later. Focus group discussions were held following each group. Five themes emerged from the photovoice data: (1) The work of nursing; (2) Miscommunication; (3) Fatigue; (4) Resilience; and (5) Hope for the future. Various subthemes were noted within each theme to delineate the lived experience of frontlines nurses working in the COVID-19 pandemic. The voices of nurses and their experiences on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic need to be considered in pandemic planning and integrated into health care policy, guidelines, and structural changes.
