Cognitive Appraisals and Coping Strategies of Nurses in Emergency Department Combating COVID-19: A Scoping Review

Abstract

This research synthesized 16 studies to corroborate that the fear of uncertainty, dilemma of triage, and adverse mental health were the significant threats to EDRNs. Additionally, the up-to-date training program, modified triage system, promotion of resilience, early stress-relieved intervention, and professional affirmation may help EDRNs cope with pandemic-related challenges effectively.

Detailed abstract attached.
