Abstract
COVID -19 pandemic has created a major physical and
psychological burden on nursing staff all over the world. A better
understanding of these conditions will lead to tailored support and
resources for nursing staff during and after the pandemic.
We expect that in Comparing with second line nursing staff, staff
providing direct patient care to COVID - 19 patients will have greater
levels of both acute and post-traumatic stress. Moreover, psychological
distress risk factors for psychological distress included: being younger,
parents of dependent children, and in quarantine, having an infected
family member, lack of practical support contribute. Access to adequate
personal protection, adequate rest, and both practical and psychological
support will be associated with reduced morbidity.
The present study was designed as a comparative cross sectional
study that included nursing staff on duty working at Suez Canal
University hospital during the past 6 months. The participants will be
divided into two groups; group 1: Front line nursing staff providing
direct patient care to COVID-19 patients, and group 2: Second line
nursing staff not providing direct patient care to COVID-19 patients. Thisstudy aimed at assessing prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder
symptoms among nursing staff working at Suez Canal University
hospital.
