A new study from New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing found that city nurses caring for COVID-19 patients during the first wave of the pandemic experienced anxiety, depression and illness. But the study, published in Nursing Outlook earlier this month, also identified steps the nurses’ hospitals took to protect them during the first wave, what the study authors say can serve as an example of what hospitals can do during public health crises to support their nursing staff and protect their mental health. The study is based on a survey of some 2,495 nurses across four hospitals in the New York City area that is part of NYU Langone Health. This study took place from May through July 2020, during the pandemic’s first wave.More Related News
