The participants described their struggle with mixed feelings, such as fear and guilt, after the confirmation of being infected with COVID-19. Female nurses more often linked these emotions to family caregiving roles, whilst male nurses more frequently framed their distress around professional identity and responsibility. Furthermore, gendered changes were related in their personalities after being infected with COVID-19, as they became vulnerable and asked people to care for them. Lastly, nurses returning to work after recovering from COVID-19 reported greater compassion and empathy reflected in their patient care.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Policymakers should recognise changes that may affect nurses due to illness and provide adequate psychological counselling and physical support to help them overcome these challenging experiences.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14223,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nursing Practice","volume":"32 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147432769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
