Abstract

It has long been known that nursing work is challenging and has the potential for negative impacts. During the COVID-19 pandemic most nurses’ working landscapes altered dramatically and many faced unprecedented challenges. Resilience is a contested term that has been used with increasing prevalence in healthcare with health professionals encouraging a “tool-box” of stress management techniques and resilience-building skills. Drawing on narrative interview data (n = 27) from the Impact of Covid on Nurses (ICON) qualitative study we examine how nurses conceptualized resilience during COVID-19 and the impacts this had on their mental wellbeing. We argue here that it is paramount that nurses are not blamed for experiencing workplace stress when perceived not to be resilient “enough,” particularly when expressing what may be deemed to be normal and appropriate reactions given the extreme circumstances and context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“我怎么了?”或“荣誉勋章”:新冠肺炎期间护士的复原力建设
长期以来,人们都知道护理工作具有挑战性,并有可能产生负面影响。在新冠肺炎大流行期间,大多数护士的工作环境发生了巨大变化,许多护士面临着前所未有的挑战。韧性是一个有争议的术语,随着医疗保健中越来越多的人使用它,卫生专业人员鼓励使用压力管理技术和韧性建设技能的“工具箱”。根据新冠肺炎对护士的影响(ICON)定性研究的叙述性访谈数据(n=27),我们研究了护士在新冠肺炎期间如何概念化恢复力,以及这对他们的心理健康的影响。我们在这里认为,最重要的是,当护士被认为没有“足够的韧性”时,不要因为经历工作场所的压力而受到指责,特别是在新冠肺炎大流行的极端情况和背景下,当护士表达了可能被视为正常和适当的反应时。
