Article Abstract

As a stressor in the context of COVID-19 pandemic fatigue is associated with well-being. However, how pandemic fatigue is associated with well-being and what protective factors buffer this negative effect are under investigated. Based on the stress process model and emotion regulation theory, the study examined the indirect effect of pandemic fatigue on subjective well-being through emotional distress and the buffering effect of self-compassion. Data were collected from 1,162 university students ( = 21.61 ± 2.81, female 35.71%) through an online survey. Indirect effect analysis and conditional process analysis were conducted by the SPSS macro PROCESS. Indirect effect of pandemic fatigue on subjective well-being through emotional distress was identified and self-compassion moderated the association between pandemic fatigue and emotional distress. The indirect effect of pandemic fatigue was weaker among participants with high levels of self-compassion than among those with low levels of self-compassion. Pandemic fatigue was negatively associated with subjective well-being through emotional distress at all levels of self-compassion. The findings deepen our understanding of the link between pandemic fatigue and well-being while considering the indirect role of emotional distress and protective function of self-compassion.

Purpose: To measure the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provided by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel wearing 'enhanced' personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Perth, Australia.

Methods: We undertook a retrospective cohort study of adult, non-traumatic, non-EMS-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) with resuscitation attempted by St John (Ambulance) Western Australia (SJWA) between 16/03/2020-16/05/2021; corresponding to the first 14 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. We reported the median (interquartile range [IQR]) compression depth, rate and fraction across the cohort, along with the proportion of cases compliant with resuscitation guidelines issued by the Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation (ANZCOR).

This study explores the emotional and ethical dimensions of nursing practice through poetic inquiry. Drawing on 42 publicly accessible poems authored by nurses during and after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the research investigates how verse serves as a medium for reflection, resistance, and relational meaning-making in clinical contexts.
