Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare facilities have established new policies affecting nursing care, often with little input from the nurses who must implement them. These changes have led to mistrust and an altered sense of safety among nurses. This article focuses on how changing institutional policies affecting personal protective equipment and family visitation have affected nurses' mental health and offers practical suggestions for supporting resilience and mental health in nurses during this unprecedented public health crisis.
