拉合尔公立医院重症监护护士对COVID-19的恐惧:第三次浪潮期间的经验证据

世界经历了一场扰乱生活的大流行。到目前为止，新冠病毒的“欧米克隆”(Omicron)等余震正在给人们带来恐惧。医护人员保持警惕，特别是护士，由于这个问题，他们的精神上受到了很大的影响，产生了疲劳。这项研究是在致命的第三次COVID-19浪潮期间进行的。数据是通过编制问卷，对在拉合尔服务医院COVID-19重症监护病房、重症监护病房和底层病房工作的护士进行的与研究变量相关的先前验证措施进行收集。共使用140份问卷进行数据分析。该研究使用社会科学统计包进行频率和描述性统计。鉴于对COVID-19恐惧的结果使用最新的智能偏最小二乘软件进行评估，该软件允许评估复杂的研究框架。研究结果显示，对COVID-19的恐惧导致护士的生活质量下降和疲劳。护士的心理弹性可以减少不良后果，但没有得到统计支持。
