Objectif Cette étude examine l’influence relative de la résilience personnelle, du soutien social et du soutien organisationnel dans la réduction de l’anxiété liée à la COVID-19 chez les infirmières de première ligne. Contexte L’anxiété liée à la pandémie de COVID-19 est très répandue au sein du personnel infirmier, ce qui peut affecter le bien-être et les performances professionnelles des infirmières. Il est impératif d’identifier les facteurs qui pourraient aider à maintenir la santé mentale et à réduire l’anxiété liée au coronavirus chez les infirmières de première ligne. Actuellement, aucune étude n’a été menée pour examiner l’influence de la résilience personnelle, du soutien social et du soutien organisationnel dans la réduction de l’anxiété liée à la COVID-19 chez les infirmières.

Aim This study examines the relative influence of personal resilience, social support and organisational support in reducing COVID-19 anxiety in front-line nurses. Background Anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic is prevalent in the nursing workforce, potentially affecting nurses’ well-being and work performance. Identifying factors that could help maintain mental health and reduce coronavirus-related anxiety among front-line nurses is imperative. Currently, no studies have been conducted examining the influence of personal resilience, social support and organisational support in reducing COVID-19 anxiety among nurses. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 325 registered nurses from the Philippines using four standardized scales. Results Of the 325 nurses in the study, 123 (37.8%) were found to have dysfunctional levels of anxiety. Using multiple linear regression analyses, social support (β = −0.142, p = .011), personal resilience (β = −0.151, p = .008) and organisational support (β = −0.127, p = .023) predicted COVID-19 anxiety. Nurse characteristics were not associated with COVID-19 anxiety. Conclusions Resilient nurses and those who perceived higher organisational and social support were more likely to report lower anxiety related to COVID-19. Implication for Nursing Management COVID-19 anxiety may be addressed through organisational interventions, including increasing social support, assuring adequate organisational support, providing psychological and mental support services and providing resilience-promoting and stress management interventions.
