目的:本研究的目的是描述护士在COVID-19大流行后的经历,并探讨护士当前期望的支持需求。
方法:本研究采用了定性的描述性设计。
方法:这项研究是在美国东南部的学术卫生系统中进行的,该系统包括急性护理医院和门诊专科诊所。2023年8月和9月,在五个小组的两个或三个护士中采访了13名护士。使用Photovoice进行数据收集,每位护士提交了两张照片。使用常规内容分析对数据进行分析,转录本和照片分析同时发生。
结果:确定了三个主题:(1)组织动荡,(2)个人创伤和过渡;(3)争取复兴和更新。开发了一个概念模型来说明这三个主题及其关系,以描述研究结果。
结论:护士受到组织因素的影响,例如人员配备问题和缺乏支持,并亲自经历了仍然具有挑战性的心理创伤。护士在他们的个人生活中找到了复兴和更新,但仍然希望继续改善组织因素,以提高他们的福祉,以目前尚未解决的方式实现全面恢复。这项研究的结果与医疗机构和领导者制定组织变革和心理健康解决方案以支持护士福祉有关。
护士健康的优先次序对于护理专业和医疗机构来说至关重要。迫切需要组织改进和实施支持资源,以帮助护士康复,保留护士,并确保患者获得优质护理。
结论:这项研究发现,在COVID-19大流行开始3年后,护士出现了挣扎,强调持续需要提供支持护士健康的资源和干预措施。我们的发现为护士提供了他们的经历和支持需求的描述,供组织和医疗保健领导者在未来考虑。

OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to describe the experiences of nurses in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore nurses\' current desired support needs.
METHODS: This study used a qualitative descriptive design.
METHODS: This study was conducted in the Southeastern United States at an academic health system encompassing acute care hospitals and outpatient speciality clinics. Thirteen nurses were interviewed in August and September of 2023 in five small groups of two or three nurses. Photovoice was used for data collection and each nurse submitted two photographs. Data were analysed utilising conventional content analysis, with transcripts and photograph analysis occurring concurrently.
RESULTS: Three themes were identified: (1) organisational turmoil, (2) personal traumatisation and transitions and (3) striving for revival and renewal. A conceptual model illustrating the three themes and their relationships was developed to depict study findings.
CONCLUSIONS: Nurses were impacted by organisational factors, such as staffing issues and lack of support, and personally through psychological trauma that has remained challenging. Nurses found revival and renewal in their personal lives, but still desire continued improvement in organisational factors to enhance their well-being in ways not currently being addressed to allow for full recovery. Findings from this study are pertinent for healthcare organisations and leaders to develop organisational changes and mental health solutions to support nurse well-being.
UNASSIGNED: The prioritisation of nurse well-being is critical for the nursing profession and healthcare organisations. Organisational improvements and the implementation of support resources are urgently needed to aid in nurse recovery, nurse retention and to ensure patients receive quality care.
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified nurses\' struggles 3 years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the ongoing need to provide resources and interventions that support nurse well-being. Our findings offer nurses\' descriptions of their experiences and support needs for organisations and healthcare leaders to consider in the future.
