Nurse Protection during Pandemics: Participate in the 12NHPSUCG and know about nurses' experiences and how they safeguarded patients during the pandemic.

 

Duties, Obligations, Hazards, and Rights of Nurses in COVID-19's Front Line

The COVID-19 pandemic places significant obligations and responsibilities on nurses. In addition to actively participating in evaluation and monitoring in the community, they will continue to be on the front lines of patient care at hospitals. Regardless of whether a patient is contagious, nurses must make sure they receive personalised, high-quality care. They will also engage in preparing for predicted COVID-19-related epidemics, which could cause system overload by increasing demand for nursing and healthcare services. 1 Also, nurses must maintain an efficient supply and use of personal protective equipment, sanitation supplies, and standards for confinement, as well as provide screening information and triage techniques based on the most recent recommendations. Strong nursing staff involvement in clinical management, awareness and knowledge sharing, and public safety are necessary during a worldwide pandemic.

The 12th International Nursing, Healthcare and Patient Safety Conference will take place from July 25–27, 2023, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Future of Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety was the conference's theme. A portion of the Nursing, Healthcare, and Patient Safety Conference consists of keynote addresses and workshops. Meet professionals from around the world to debate sessions on relating, interacting, and transforming advances in patient safety, nursing and healthcare management, as well as fostering global cooperation in clinical and research practice. There will be delegations and poster sessions from all over the world presenting this interesting programme.

Given that nurses are on the front lines of the COVID-19 outbreak response and are exposed to risks that put them at risk of infection, it is crucial to support them in protecting themselves by providing them with the necessary protective gear at their work settings, such as ventilators, masks, robes, eye covers, face shields, and gloves, as well as with specific infection prevention procedures. 3 Nurses and support staff must receive instruction from nursing supervisors and instructors regarding new COVID-19 hazards and difficulties that are specific to their line of work.

Background: During the covid-19, nurses were put in a terrible situation due of the high number of patients who became sick and passed away from the disease. The last line of defence against the danger of healthcare-associated infections for nurses is personal protective equipment, while self-efficacy is crucial for coping with stressors during the pandemic.

AIM: The purpose of this review is to examine variables relating to nurse self-efficacy and the usage of PPE during the COVID-19 epidemic.

METHODS: Six electronic databases were systematically searched using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. The criteria were met by nine cross-sectional studies, three cohort and survey studies, one case control study, and one surveillance research.

RESULTS: This review contained 16 papers out of the 104 that were evaluated. The primary element preventing nurses from acquiring Covid-19 infection was their high level of self-protection. The main causes of nurses developing COVID-19 were a lack of personal protective equipment and a lack of caution. Low self-efficacy among nurses was linked to increased stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and sleeplessness.

 

Review and Update

According to this research, there is a scarcity of nurses who can care for the large number of coronavirus patients. Furthermore, the severity of this issue goes beyond a lack of fully qualified nurses to care for COVID-19 patients in isolation or intensive care units. Moreover, this difficulty is fairly clear about various topics of crises and disasters. The issue also becomes apparent in day-to-day activities. A call for all specialists, including retired or staff nurses who possess the necessary information, abilities, and attitudes, may be part of the suggested solution for increasing staffing for COVID-19. These individuals would aid in providing patients with COVID-19 infections with holistic care. As a result, hospitals will be able to expand and accommodate more patients when nurses are available. Calls for volunteers, such as willing nursing interns and students who have prior experience working in a clinical setting, might be advised. However, while defining their roles and the activities that must be completed, nurses must have a clear plan in place to manage and monitor volunteers.

Also, it might be beneficial to enlist nursing professionals who are skilled in handling crises and tragic circumstances, lay out the potential hazards associated with this pandemic, and develop a short- or long-term plan to reduce those risks. The current issue that many nations' healthcare systems are currently dealing with is the lack of nursing professionals across all specialties, but especially in emergency and critical care nursing. Hence, if the number of patients exceeds the capacity of the disaster plan, it might be helpful to train new personnel and nurses who have less experience in dealing with patients placed on mechanical ventilators. For nurses with limited expertise handling unique COVID-19 instances and learning how to use PPE, more training is crucial.

Conclusion: The availability and regular use of personal protective equipment provide nurses the best defence against exposure to Covid-19. In addition, it was advised to take psychological support into account when developing staff training programmes for nurses.
