| Abstract: |
Background: During the COVID‐19 epidemic, nurses are facing tremendous psychological pressure. However, there is a lack of research on severe depression and its related factors in nurses after COVID‐19. This study aimed to compare the prevalence and explore the influencing factors of severe depression among Chinese nurses during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods: This study recruited 937 frontline nurses during the outbreak and 784 frontline nurses who had participated in the initial recruitment after the pandemic. The self‐rating depression scale (SDS), self‐rating anxiety scale (SAS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to assess subjects' depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders, respectively. Chi‐square test, t‐test, and binary logistic regression were used to identify factors influencing severe depression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the predictive value of severe depression‐related variables. Results: The study found that the incidence of severe depression among nurses after the epidemic (4.9%) was significantly higher than that during the epidemic (1.7%). In addition, academic qualifications, health status, frequency of exercise per week, anxiety, and sleep disorders were associated with severe depression among nurses after the COVID‐19 epidemic. ROC analyses showed that SAS scores and PSQI scores had good predictive value for nurses' severe depression after the pandemic. Conclusions: The prevalence of severe depression among nurses after COVID‐19 is higher than that during COVID‐19. Nurses continue to face severe psychological stress after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Therefore, it is desperately needed for nurses to provide timely psychological support and establish a mental health support system after the COVID‐19 epidemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
