Detailed Description

This is a cross-sectional descriptive study with a research/action design to be carried out at the Consorci Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí (CCSPT). The aim of this study is to identify the knowledge that CCSPT nurses have in relation to care aimed at coping with anxiety, fear or loneliness and the use that they have made of it in the recent crisis. By its design, the research/action will allow the training of these nurses to improve nursing care of these aspects in the future. This is a population-based study, in which all CCSPT nurses who have carried out care work during the COVID-19 crisis period will be invited to participate. The variables collected will be age, sex, academic level, usual work shift, care given to reduce anxiety, fear, loneliness, coping style and self-pity. Quantitative variables will be described by their mean and standard deviation, while qualitative variables will be described in absolute and relative frequencies. A linear or non-parametric correlation will be made between the score on the self-pity and coping scales and the number of actions identified and/or performed referred to by the nurses and the calculation of the Pearson or Spearman correlation coefficient, as appropriate. Comparison of the number of actions between high activity and low activity (70% cut) coping nurses using the Mann-Whitney U test
