Purpose: This survey was conducted to investigate the level of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related peritraumatic distress and job stress among clinical nurses and evaluate their effects on nursing performance.
Methods: The participants were 115 nurses from 5 hospitals in 3 regions in Korea. The peritraumatic distress index (PDI), job stress, and nursing performance scales were used for the analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multivariate regression analysis.
Results: The level of peritraumatic distress of nurses was scored at 22.8 ± 9.26 (range 0 to 45).
The level of job stress was scored at 2.69 ± 0.51 (range 1.3 to 3.7). The level of nursing performance was scored at 3.73 ± 0.51(range 1.76 to 5.0). Peritraumatic distress was observed to be positively correlated with job stress (r=.408, p<.001). However, peritraumatic distress and job stress were not correlated with nursing performance. In multivariate regression, the only variable seen to affect nursing performance was the work experience of the nurses. Work experience levels of five to fifteen years were observed to have a significant positive effect on nursing performance.
Conclusion: The work experience of nurses directly influenced nursing performance during the pandemic period. Thus, to retain more nurses and to improve nursing performance, it would be necessary to develop various strategies to decrease their peritraumatic distress and job stress caused by the pandemic.
