Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to determine posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience and understand the relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in frontline nurses.

Methods

This study was conducted on 263 nurses working at the pandemic clinics of a hospital of a healthcare group in Istanbul and a public hospital in Bursa between June 20 and September 01, 2020. Data were collected online to avoid the risk of infection using the personal information form, the Connor–Davidson resilience scale and the posttraumatic growth inventory.

Findings

There is a significant relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in frontline nurses. Nurses with a master's degree have higher psychological resilience than those with a bachelor's degree. Also, those who are reported that they receive organizational support from the nursing services management have higher psychological resilience and posttraumatic growth scores. Participants who worked for the hospital in Istanbul, those who stayed at hotels, and those who had no communication problems with the healthcare team had statistically significant higher posttraumatic scores and subscale scores than others. Also, those who do not think that they can protect themselves from the virus enough have lower posttraumatic growth than those who think so.

Conclusions

Psychological resilience was positively correlated with posttraumatic growth and its subscales.

Implications for nursing practice

Future studies should follow up on frontline nurses to determine the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological resilience and posttraumatic growth.

大流行诊所护士创伤后成长与心理弹性的关系

目的探讨一线护士创伤后成长与心理弹性的关系，探讨创伤后成长与心理弹性的关系。方法对2020年6月20日至9月1日在伊斯坦布尔某医疗集团医院和布尔萨公立医院大流行门诊工作的263名护士进行研究。数据通过个人信息表、康纳-戴维森弹性量表和创伤后成长量表在网上收集，以避免感染风险。结果一线护士创伤后成长与心理弹性存在显著相关。硕士护士的心理弹性高于本科护士。此外，那些被报告得到护理服务管理组织支持的人有更高的心理弹性和创伤后成长得分。在伊斯坦布尔医院工作的参与者，住在酒店的参与者，以及与医疗团队没有沟通问题的参与者，其创伤后得分和亚量表得分在统计上显著高于其他人。此外，那些认为自己不能充分保护自己免受病毒侵害的人，创伤后生长速度比那些认为自己能保护自己的人要低。结论心理弹性与创伤后成长及其分量表呈正相关。未来的研究应对一线护士进行随访，以确定COVID-19大流行对心理弹性和创伤后成长的长期影响。
