Abstract

Nurses have been exposed to great tension in the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aims to investigate the impact of the teachings of the Quran on the stress, anxiety, depression, and resilience of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. This is a quasi-experimental study on 70 nurses at Larestan and Gerash hospitals. The intervention was implemented in ten 30-min online and offline sessions through mobile phone-based applications. The standard resilience scale and DASS-21 were completed by the two study groups immediately before and one month after the intervention. The posttest total stress mean scores of the experimental and the control group were 5.77 ± 4.67 and 17.71 ± 3.22, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (p-value < 0.05). Similarly, there was a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.05) between the experimental and the control group' posttest total resilience mean scores (71.17 ± 15.16 and 36.05 ± 0.5, respectively). Accordingly, educational programs based on the teachings of the Quran are recommended as an effective way to improve resilience and decrease anxiety in nurses.
