Effectiveness of Virtual Reality–Based Well-Being Interventions for Stress Reduction in Young Adults: Systematic Review

These studies included participants in academic institutions who are facing many stressors as a result of their academic careers. Two of those studies recruited nursing students; 1 study used cognitive behavioral therapy and progressive muscle relaxation, and the other study administered a mindfulness meditation intervention [19,20]. Ortega et al [19] used the KEZKAK questionnaire and the state-trait anxiety test as a measuring tool for stress levels.

Unmet Psychosocial Needs of Health Care Professionals in Europe During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Approach

Unmet Psychosocial Needs of Health Care Professionals in Europe During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mixed Methods Approach

As nurses and frontline HCPs (eg, physicians) seem to be the most affected groups during the pandemic, it is worth focusing on these professions regarding work-related stressful events (hereafter referred to as stressors and psychosocial burden). Stress occurs when the demands overwhelm the person [20]. Several stressors of HCPs were identified during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 [21] and during the COVID-19 pandemic [22].

Nurses’ Work Concerns and Disenchantment During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Machine Learning Analysis of Web-Based Discussions

The COVID-19 global outbreak placed health care systems under unprecedented stressors and has been a challenging time for those who work on the front lines of health care. Stress is caused by the experience of anticipating or encountering adversity in one’s goal-related efforts [4]. Facing prolonged and excessive stress may lead to nurse burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion.

Stressors and Destressors in Working From Home Based on Context and Physiology From Self-Reports and Smartwatch Measurements: International Observational Study Trial

The independent variables were further divided into participant characteristics (ie, general demographics and environment) and environmental stressors (access to sunlight, access to fresh air, noise, distractions of daily life, and distractions of people), which were reported on a VAS of 0 (none) to 100 (a lot), and lifestyle stressors (taking a break, social interactions, going outside, and exercising), which were reported as a “yes” or “no” answer.

Mental Health Among Medical Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Eight European Countries: Cross-sectional Survey Study

Mental Health Among Medical Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Eight European Countries: Cross-sectional Survey Study

To determine the most important stressors for medical staff, we used a questionnaire similar to the one used in a study by Lee et al [29] on SARS, which contains specific items for medical staff. The questionnaire consisted of 23 items. On a Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much), the participants indicated how often they thought about or were concerned about the individual stressors in their everyday life or at work.

Mental Health Burden in Different Professions During the Final Stage of the COVID-19 Lockdown in China: Cross-sectional Survey Study

Additionally, health care workers were burdened by specific clinical and nonclinical stressors (eg, fear of bringing the virus home to family members and the experience of losing colleagues) [23]. There were some specific results on the psychological burden felt by nurses. Nurses in Anhui showed strong emotional responses. Increased exposure to COVID-19 cases evoked more anxiety and anger [24].
