COVID-19疫情严重影响前线护士的精神、情绪及心理健康。本研究探讨了对COVID-19的恐惧对护士离职意愿、继发创伤和心理困扰的影响。此外，我们还探讨了可能的调节变量，即，领导支持，可以弥补对COVID-19的恐惧对护士离职意愿、继发性创伤和心理困扰的负面影响。最初，联系了700名护士;然而，收到了380名护士的答复。研究发现，对COVID-19的恐惧显著影响护士的心理健康。我们的结论是，医院管理层应支持，鼓励和激励前线护士，以减少负面的情绪和心理健康问题。
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the mental, emotional and psychological health of Frontline nurses. This study examines the impact of fear of COVID-19 on nurses' turnover intention, secondary trauma, and psychological distress. Additionally, we explore the possible moderating variable, i.e., leadership support that may compensate for the negative impact of fear of COVID-19 on the nurses' turnover intention, secondary trauma, and psychological distress. Initially, 700 nurses were contacted; however, the response of 380 nurses was received. It is found that fear of COVID-19 significantly affects nurses mental health. We concluded that hospital administrations should support, encourage and motivate Frontline nurses to reduce negative emotional and mental health issues.
