The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic had a global impact on health systems and health professionals. Nurses, particularly those working in intensive care units (ICUs), held a central critical role in the care of COVID-19 patients, facing numerous challenges in the delivery of care, leading to significant psychological and mental health issues.

Four key themes emerged: (1) isolation (2) workload (3) clinical preparedness and lack of protocols and (4) fear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
