 This scoping review examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurses' mental health. It found that nurses faced many challenges due to the pandemic, such as stress, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, sleeplessness, and anxiety. These factors were exacerbated by inadequate personal protective equipment, discomfort wearing the equipment, extreme workloads, and fatigue. Additionally, nurses experienced job insecurity, business closures, and separation from family and friends, which also contributed to their challenges. To cope with these challenges, nurses employed both emotion-focused and problem-focused coping strategies. The authors recommend regular counselling and support for nurses to help them build resilience against future pandemics.
