The mental turmoil of hospital nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Stephen M. Nelson, Angela E. Lee‐Winn
Abstract
At this time, nurses within hospitals are working hard, but they potentially will have long-term mental health effects as a result of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Both short-term interventions, such as daily huddles and debriefings, and long-term interventions, including follow-ups on the mental health of nurses, need to be implemented to prevent mental disorders among nurses during and after the pandemic.
