Abstract

Background: Front-line nurses caring for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience stressful and traumatic working conditions, which may affect their professional quality of life.

Aim: To identify the effect of COVID-19 on front-line nurses' professional quality of life, specifically on their levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional comparative design was adopted. Data collection tools included self-reported sociodemographic and work-related characteristics and the self-report Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Questionnaires (n=200) were distributed by email to two groups of nurses working in a government hospital in Saudi Arabia: front-line nurses who cared for patients with COVID-19 in isolation units; and front-line nurses who cared for patients without COVID-19 in inpatient units.

Results: Completed questionnaires were received from 167 respondents, a response rate of 84%. Moderate levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress were found regardless of respondents' involvement in caring for patients with COVID-19. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of compassion satisfaction, burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic presents a new challenge for front-line nurses, necessitating appropriate interventions to avoid burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

COVID-19 大流行对一线护士职业生活质量的影响。

背景：目的：确定 COVID-19 对一线护士职业生活质量的影响，特别是对其同情心满意度、职业倦怠和二次创伤应激水平的影响：方法：采用描述性横断面比较设计。数据收集工具包括自我报告的社会人口学特征和工作相关特征以及自我报告的职业生活质量量表（ProQOL）。通过电子邮件向在沙特阿拉伯一家政府医院工作的两组护士发放了调查问卷（n=200）：在隔离病房护理 COVID-19 患者的一线护士；在住院病房护理无 COVID-19 患者的一线护士：共收到 167 名受访者填写的调查问卷，回复率为 84%。无论受访者是否参与护理 COVID-19 患者，其同情心满意度、职业倦怠和继发性创伤压力均处于中等水平。两组受访者在同情满意度、职业倦怠和继发性创伤压力方面没有明显的统计学差异：COVID-19大流行给一线护士带来了新的挑战，需要采取适当的干预措施以避免职业倦怠和二次创伤压力。
