    • Nurses' daily lives and emotional well-being were significantly impacted by their clinical experiences during the pandemic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and categorize events that evoked emotions in nurses caring for COVID-19 patients.
    • To identify the specific emotions experienced by nurses during the first wave of the pandemic.

    Main Results:

    • Identified thirty-seven event categories, grouped into nine domains, that provoked emotions in nurses.
    • Nurses expressed fear of COVID-19 due to its contagious and severe nature.
    • Emotions ranged from joy (in providing care) to sadness (inability to be effective), with a generally negative view of the disease but a positive reflection on coping mechanisms.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses' emotional responses were complex, influenced by patient outcomes and the nature of the disease.
    • Personal resilience, interprofessional collaboration, and institutional support were crucial for nurses in managing the pandemic's emotional toll.
    • Despite the challenges, nurses viewed the COVID-19 experience as exceptional, highlighting their adaptive capacity.
