Abstract
REYES-LOPEZ, Viridiana Gabriela; LANDEROS-OLVERA, Erick; GALICIA-AGUILAR, Rosa María and LOZADA-PEREZMITRE, Erika. Acute stress on the nursing staff exposed or recovered from Covid-19. Index Enferm [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, pp.303-307. Epub June 27, 2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Covid-19 has caused millions of deaths; Mexico is the fourth country with a higher index of deaths worldwide. Such phenomenon was approached from the theoretical perspective of Roy's Adaptation Model.
Objective:
To describe acute stress levels of the first line nursing staff both exposed or recovered from Covid-19, at a hybrid hospital in the State of Puebla, Mexico. Methodology. Descriptive, comparative, transversal. Sample (n - 126) divided in two groups: nursing staff exposed to Covid-19 (n =68) and nursing staff recovered from Covid-19 (n= 58).
Results:
Nursing staff exposed to Covid-19 showed less acute stress levels compared to nursing staff recovered from Covid-19 (50.78±17.43 vs. 54.88±20.25), however, there was no statistically significant difference (t= 1.22; p> .05).
Conclusion:
The acute stress level scores of most staff show an ineffective adaptation response.
