Les cultures de travail favorables au bien-être et la réduction de la durée des quarts de travail ont été associées à de meilleurs résultats en matière de santé mentale/physique chez les infirmières, mais l’impact de la pandémie de coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) sur ces résultats n’est pas connu. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de (1) décrire la santé mentale/physique, le bien-être et les comportements liés à un mode de vie sain des infirmières pendant la pandémie ; (2) explorer l’impact de la pandémie sur leur santé et leurs comportements liés à un mode de vie sain ; et (3) déterminer les associations entre le soutien perçu au bien-être sur le lieu de travail et la durée du travail et la santé, le bien-être et les comportements liés à un mode de vie sain des infirmières.
Work cultures supportive of wellness and shorter shift length have been associated with better mental/physical health outcomes in nurses, but how the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic impacted such outcomes is not known. This study’s aims were to (1) describe the mental/physical health, well-being, and healthy lifestyle behaviors of nurses during the pandemic; (2) explore the pandemic’s impact on their health and healthy lifestyle behaviors; and (3) determine the associations of perceived workplace wellness support and shift length with nurses’ health, well-being, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used with 264 nurses associated with Trusted Health. Nurses completed a survey containing valid and reliable scales measuring depression, anxiety, burnout and quality of life, perceived wellness culture, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Results indicated that more than 50% of nurses had worsening mental/physical health relating to the pandemic. Compared with nurses whose workplaces provided little/no wellness support, nurses with workplaces that supported their wellness were 3 to 9 times as likely to have better mental/physical health, no/little stress, no burnout, and high quality of life. Nurses who worked longer shifts had poorer health outcomes. These findings indicate that workplace wellness support and shorter shifts positively impacted nurse mental/physical health and professional quality of life amidst the pandemic.
