New York nurses caring for COVID-19 patients during the first wave of the pandemic experienced anxiety, depression, and illness but steps their hospitals took to protect them and support from their coworkers helped buffer against the stressful conditions, according to a study led by researchers at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing. A critical part of the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic should be supporting the mental health of our frontline workers. Our study demonstrates that institutional resources such as supportive staff relationships, professional development, providing temporary housing, and access to personal protective equipment were associated with lower levels of anxiety and depression among nurses, said Christine T. Kovner, RN, PhD, the Mathey Mezey Professor of Geriatric Nursing at NYU Meyers and the study s lead author.
