Abstract
Objective
To predict the emotional responses and coping strategies of Moroccan professional nurses and nursing students during COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
From April 2021 to June 2021, a quantitative comparative study was conducted with 68 professional nurses and 50 nursing students. Participants’ responses were based on a self-administered questionnaire that included sociodemographic variables, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Scale (PANAS), and the brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (COPE).
Results
A total of 118 participants complete responses, with mean ages ranging from 19 to 58 (M = 27.59, SD ± 8.98), and majority were female (n = 79, 66.9%). In terms of avoidance coping, male professional nurses reported significantly higher mean score (27.73, SD ± 3.69) than female nurses (25.71, SD ± 3.98) (t = −2.085, p = 0.041). The result of multiple regression showed that for professional nurses, approach and avoidance coping are associated with age (β = .76, p < .001; β = .98, p < .001; respectively), seniority in the profession (β = −.94, p < .001; β = −1.13, p < .001; respectively), and positive affect scores (β = .33, p < .01; β = .32, p < .01; respectively). Conversely, nursing students revealed a different profile, with age significantly associated with approach coping (β = .95, p < .001) and avoidance coping (β = .95, p < .001). Notably, in contrast to avoidance coping, approach coping increased significantly with a positive affect score (β = .29, p < .01).
Conclusion
The use of various coping strategies by nurses in challenging situations highlights the crucial need for training in effective coping techniques for managing emotional reactions, as they have a considerable impact on mental well-being and the quality of nursing care.
期刊介绍:
Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nursing professionals from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. The aim of the Journal is to promote increased knowledge through the publication of original research and other studies that may help nursing professionals improve their daily practice. This objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Special Articles, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes comments about original articles of special interest written by experts.
