Abstract

Background: During Covid-19 pandemic, nurses are one of the most important job groups who experience high levels of stress. This study aims to compare occupational stress and resilience among nurses working in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 130 nurses participated. To determine the occupational stress and resilience, Osipow Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI) questionnaire and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were used as collecting data tools, respectively. Results: The total stress score (176.63±15.86 versus 164.47±13.21, p= 0.02) was significantly higher, while the mean score of resilience was significantly lower (65.61±2.75 versus 78.76±2.61, p<0.001) in nurses working in COVID-19 wards, compared with the nurses in other wards. After adjusting for confounders, there were statistically significant associations between occupational stress and control subscale of resilience and between resilience and hospital wards (COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards). Conclusion: The present study's findings indicated that nurses working in COVID-19 wards have higher stress and lower resilience than nurses in other wards.

新冠肺炎大流行时期护士的职业压力与恢复力

背景：在新冠肺炎大流行期间，护士是经历高压力的最重要的工作群体之一。本研究旨在比较新冠肺炎和非新冠肺炎病房护士的职业压力和恢复力。方法：本研究共有130名护士参与。为了确定职业压力和恢复力，分别使用Osipow职业压力问卷（OSI）和Connor Davidson恢复力量表（CD-RISC）作为收集数据的工具。结果：与其他病房的护士相比，新冠肺炎病房护士的总压力得分（176.63±15.86对164.47±13.21，p=0.02）显著较高，而弹性平均得分（65.61±2.75对78.76±2.61，p<0.001）显著较低。在校正混杂因素后，职业压力和复原力的控制分量表之间以及复原力和医院病房（新冠肺炎和非新冠肺炎病房）之间存在统计学上显著的相关性。结论：本研究结果表明，新冠肺炎病房的护士比其他病房的护士压力更大，恢复力更低。
