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. |
