Introduction:

The 2019 new coronavirus disease was diagnosed in December 2019 in Wuhan (China), declaring a global pandemic in March. Epidemics generate fear, anxiety and anguish amongst the general population, and amongst health personnel (especially in nursing), the COVID-19 pandemic has been no exception. The objective of the study was to analyze the psycho-emotional impact of COVID-19 among nurses in the province of Huesca.

Methods:

Descriptive cross-sectional study, approved by the Ethics Committee. With prior informed consent, anonymously and voluntarily, the participants filled out a questionnaire on psychological symptoms, using the DASS-21© scale, the ISI©, the MBI© and the FCV 19S© scales, also collecting sociodemographic, professional and COVID-19 associated variables.

Results:

The sample consisted of 196 nurses. 16,8% presented depression, 46,4% anxiety, 22,4% stress and 77,6% insomnia, with higher levels amongst the eldest, permanently employed, more experienced nurses, risk comorbidities, less leisure and more hours of work. Psychological Exhaustion (Burnout Syndrome) was detected in 50,5% and fear of coronavirus-19 in 46,9%, variables such as having a position in a COVID-19 unit, more experienced, being a Specialized Care Nurse and not living with family members, triggered greater symptomatology. Regression analyzes showed that the COVID-19 infection was a common risk factor.

Conclusions:

The SARS CoV-2 health crisis has generated a relevant psychological impact among nursing staff. Therefore, they should be offered psychological support to reduce it and thus ensure their mental health and the valuable care they provide.
