Objectif : Décrire l’état de santé mentale des infirmières lors de l’épidémie de Covid-19 et explorer les facteurs qui pourraient accentuer les conséquences négatives sur leur santé mentale. Méthodes : Nous avons mené une enquête en ligne pour évaluer les variables démographiques, les conditions de travail, la dynamique familiale et les variables de santé mentale chez les infirmières travaillant dans les établissements de soins de santé, au Portugal, pendant l’épidémie de Covid-19.
Objective: To describe nurses’ mental health status during the Covid-19 outbreak and to explore the factors that might accentuate the negative consequences on their mental health. Methods: We conducted an online survey to evaluate demographic variables, working conditions, family dynamics, and mental health variables in nurses working in healthcare settings, in Portugal, during the Covid-19 outbreak. Results: Portuguese nurses presented higher depression, anxiety and stress levels, when compared to the Portuguese general population, during the outbreak. Overall, nurses who did not consider the quantity and quality of personal protective equipment as adequate presented significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Conclusions: Our results suggest that nurses’ mental health status seems to be particularly affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and that some modifiable elements might accentuate the impacts on their mental health.
