Background: The COVID-19 pandemic had affected negatively the mental well-being of nursing students. However, limited research is currently available that explored mental health issues of nursing students. Aim: To investigate the impact of resilience on stress, anxiety, and fear of COVID-19 among the nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was adopted for this study. A total of 268 nursing students from three universities in South India. responded to an Online survey. Data was collected using self-reported questionnaires in June 2021. Results: The findings revealed that most of the students had a normal level of resilience (3.06 ± 0.39) and low levels of stress (17.885 ± 0.09). The mean scores on fear of COVID-19 (18.31 ± 5.68) and COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C-19ASS) (21.67 ± 7.42) suggest that around half of the participants had a high level of fear and anxiety. The resilience of the participants was negatively correlated with fear ( r = −260, p < .001) and perceived stress ( r = −0.307, p < .001). Similarly, fear was positively correlated with anxiety ( r = 0.211, p < .001) and perceived stress ( r = 0.418, p < .001). Conclusion: Our findings showed that nearly 50% of the nursing students had a high level of COVID-19 associated fear and anxiety. Therefore, we suggest that innovative strategies are needed to improve students’ resilience and mental health during highly stressful situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The fundamental goal of mechanical ventilation is to restore and improve respiratory functions and relieve respiratory distress, thus permitting lungs and airways to heal in acute and chronic respiratory failure conditions. Associated post-mechanical ventilation complications may increase the chance of re-intubation, poor quality of life, hospital stay and hospital costs, and so on. Objective: To assess the respiratory functions, activities of daily living, and quality of life of the post-mechanical ventilated patients. Methods: Using a purposive sampling technique, 72 patients after 24 h of weaning from the ventilator were enrolled in the study. Their socio-demographic profile, respiratory functions, activities of daily living, and quality of life were assessed using validated tools. Results: The mean respiratory rate per minute and oxygen saturation were 21.69 ± 4.10 and 93.58 ± 3.73, respectively. A total of 58.9% of the patients had dyspnea, 18.1% had abnormal breathing sound, 22.3% were using accessory muscles during breathing, 20.9% had pain during breathing, and 18.1% had cough with sputum production after extubation. Three fourth of the patients had complete dependency (75%) to perform activities of daily living. More than half (59.8%) of the patients had good quality of life scores as per the SF-36 item scale. Conclusion: There is a need to plan nursing interventions for patients in order to decrease post-mechanical ventilation complications.
