Abstract

Background: During COVID-19, organizations accommodated an increase in critically ill and isolated patients. Rapid changes to workload and the environment consumed daily operations, causing an unrelenting strain on nurses.

Objective: This study explored the lived experience of nurses during a pandemic event. Additional objectives were to determine the levels of individual resilience and burnout.

Methods: This cross-sectional survey used a convergent mixed-methods design. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize and test differences in resiliency and burnout scores. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyze qualitative responses.

Results: The Brief Resilient Coping Scale indicated medium resilient copers (mean, 15.7 [SD, 2.52]). There was no correlation between burnout and Brief Resilient Coping Scale (r = 0.186). Four themes were identified: (1) mental, physical, and emotional toll; (2) constant change; (3) perceptions of leadership; and (4) burnout.

Discussion: No correlation was found between coping ability and burnout. Nursing burnout was associated with the ongoing tolls, constant change, and leadership challenges.

了解护士的生活经验：弹性和倦怠的混合方法研究。

背景：在2019冠状病毒病期间，各组织收治了增加的危重病人和隔离病人。工作量和环境的快速变化消耗了日常操作，给护士带来了持续的压力。目的：探讨流感大流行期间护士的生活经验。另外的目标是确定个体的恢复力和倦怠水平。方法：本横断面调查采用收敛混合方法设计。采用描述性和推断性统计来总结和检验弹性和倦怠得分的差异。采用恒常比较分析法对定性反应进行分析。结果：简要弹性应对量表显示为中等弹性应对者（平均值15.7 [SD, 2.52]）。倦怠与简易弹性应对量表无相关（r = 0.186）。确定了四个主题：(1)精神、身体和情感上的损失；(2)不断变化；(3)领导认知；(4)倦怠。讨论：应对能力与职业倦怠无相关性。护理倦怠与持续的费用、不断的变化和领导挑战有关。
