Nursing Image From the Perspective of Healthcare Professionals During the Post-COVID-19 Pandemic Period: A Cross-Sectional Study
Open accessAbstract
In this study, the goal was achieved to examine the nursing image from the perspective of healthcare professionals in the post-COVID-19 period. This descriptive study was conducted with the participation of n = 264 healthcare professionals working in a training and research hospital. A personal Information Form and Nursing Image Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive methods, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Mann-Whitney U test were used in data analysis. Sixty-three point three percent of the healthcare professionals were women and 76.9% were nurses. Sixty-three point six percent of healthcare professionals had COVID-19 and 84.8% had worked without leave during the pandemic. In the post-COVID-19 period, 39% of the healthcare professionals were in partial anxiety and 36.7% were in constant anxiety. Personal characteristics of healthcare professionals did not have a statistical impact on nursing image scale scores. From the perspective of healthcare professionals, the total score of the nursing image scale was moderate. The lack of a strong nursing image may trigger poor care practices.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being of health professionals have been profound and lasting in many cases.
“Although the pandemic was declared officially over in May 2023, its effects on the well-being of health professionals have been observed to be profound and lasting in many cases [7,8].”

The Discussion reports harsh working conditions during the pandemic, and the Abstract reports that 39% of the 264 healthcare professionals had partial anxiety and 36.7% had constant anxiety in the post-COVID-19 period. These findings support substantial effects that persisted beyond the acute pandemic period, but this cross-sectional study does not establish how long those effects lasted or that they were lasting in many cases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
