Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic affected the psychological health of nurses. Numerous nurses have been facing mental complications associated with quarantine such as psychological distress and fear. The gravity of COVID-19 pandemic is triggering further mental health challenges among nurses. The continuous stress nurses are facing, could trigger post-traumatic stress symptoms, poor service delivery, suicide ideation and suicide. Assessing and preserving the mental health of nurses and the health care workers in general is necessary for optimal disease control. Psychiatric interventions are needed to attend to the psychological need of nurses treating COVID-19 patients. Such interventions imply using E-learning and video platforms to educate nurses on communication skills, case handling skills and problem-solving tactics to deal with the possible psychological problems that might arise from treating COVID-19 patients.
