Özet
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, nurses fought against the epidemic and played an important role in patient care. Increasing numbers of suspected and positive cases of COVID-19, excessive workload, insufficient personal protection equipment, being infected and infecting others, being away from family and relatives, stigmatization, and inadequate support caused increased stress levels and psychological problems in healthcare workers. During the pandemic period, the protection of nurses’ mental health is important for both their own and public health. This review aimed to investigate the psychological problems of nurses during the pandemic and practices aimed at protecting the mental health of nurses in the world and Turkey.
