Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges to the nursing staff, who were at the forefront of patient care and their families. Exposed to the virus due to strenuous work schedules and other factors, their health was at risk. However, they took proactive self-care actions to counteract these factors, promote self-health, and prevent the onset of diseases caused by stressors from the pandemic. These actions, identified in the literature published between 2020-2023, have significantly impacted their individual and collective health. Objective: To identify the self-care strategies implemented by nursing professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze them in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal. Materials and methods: An integrative literature review under a descriptive scope was conducted between June and September 2023 in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Science Direct, Lilacs, and Google Scholar; also, PRISMA recommendations were taken into account for the organization of the search. Results: 40 articles, published between 2020 and 2023 and representing for different methodological designs, were included in the review. The self-care implemented by nurses during the pandemic was assessed in the light of Giddens’ theoretical proposal under two types of actions: intentional, which account for physical, mental, and emotional health care activities, and deliberate, which focus on care at a social level. Conclusions: The identified self-care actions were oriented toward the promotion of individual and collective health of workers, the reduction of employee turnover, the recognition of stress, and the strengthening of resilience, which can also be implemented nowadays.
COVID-19 大流行期间护理专业人员的自我护理:综合评论
导言:COVID-19 大流行给护理人员及其家属带来了前所未有的挑战,因为他们是病人护理的最前沿。由于繁重的工作和其他因素,他们暴露在病毒中,健康受到威胁。然而,他们采取了积极的自我保健措施来抵消这些因素,促进自我健康,并预防因大流行病带来的压力而引发的疾病。这些行动在 2020-2023 年间发表的文献中得到了确认,对他们个人和集体的健康产生了重大影响。目的确定护理专业人员在 COVID-19 大流行期间实施的自我保健策略,并根据吉登斯的理论建议对其进行分析。材料与方法:2023 年 6 月至 9 月期间,在以下数据库中进行了描述性综合文献综述:Pubmed、Scielo、Science Direct、Lilacs 和 Google Scholar;在组织检索时还考虑了 PRISMA 建议。检索结果综述共纳入了 40 篇文章,这些文章发表于 2020 年至 2023 年之间,代表了不同的方法设计。根据吉登斯(Giddens)的理论建议,对护士在大流行病期间实施的自我护理进行了评估,分为两类行动:一类是有意的,包括身体、精神和情感方面的保健活动;另一类是蓄意的,侧重于社会层面的护理。结论所确定的自我保健行动旨在促进工人的个人和集体健康、减少员工流失、认识压力和加强复原力,这些行动在当今也可以实施。
