Nurses and COVID-19: Ethical Considerations in Pandemic Care ; : 87-103, 2022.
Article in English | Scopus | ID: covidwho-2317094

ABSTRACT

School nurses balance ethical challenges with the moral responsibility to students and the public health of the school community during a global pandemic. This balance reveals the critical role of the school nurse. We encourage school nurses to harness lessons learned during this pandemic to make proactive changes and eliminate structures that did not support practice. School nurses must use their voices and demand change;school systems have a moral responsibility to all stakeholders. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate endorsement of health (coping) behaviors by history of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to examine how endorsement relates to participants' self-reported drinking motives and behaviors, perceived stress, mental health and loneliness. Methods: 448 participants (Mean Age = 45 years;51.8% Female;50.2% White;56.5% non-AUD) completed baseline assessments of the NIAAA COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Alcohol Study. Questionnaires were completed by phone and online, and asked whether participants were doing any of the following due to the COVID-19 pandemic: taking media breaks, taking care of your body, engaging in healthy behaviors (e.g. exercise, healthy diet, refraining from substances), making time to relax, and connecting with others. Data: Latent class analysis (LCA) identified distinct patterns of positive coping behavior endorsement. Multiple regression models controlling for age, gender, race, marital status and income level were used to examine latent class differences in alcohol use (AUDIT), coping motives (DMQ Coping), perceived stress (PSS), anxiety (GAD-7) and depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), loneliness (UCLA), and test history of AUD as a potentialmoderator. Results: The two-class solution yielded optimal model fit in the LCA. Class 1 had moderate- to-high probabilities of endorsing positive coping behaviors (High Positive Coping, 82.1%). Class 2 had low probabilities of endorsement (Low Positive Coping, 17.9%). Low Positive Coping participants had significantly greater AUDIT, DMQ Coping, PSS, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores than High Positive Coping participants. Participants with AUD had significantly greater AUDIT, DMQ Coping, PSS, GAD-7, PHQ-9 and UCLA scores than participants without AUD. Associations between Positive Coping and AUDIT, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores weremoderated by history of AUD such that Low Positive Coping individuals with AUD demonstrated the highest scores, and High-Positive Coping dampened the effect of history of AUD on these outcomes. Conclusions: Most participants had high probabilities of endorsing positive coping behaviors, but those with low probabilities demonstrated significantly greater alcohol use, coping motives, perceived stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms and loneliness. Positive coping behaviors may help mitigate alcohol problems and mental health symptoms in individuals with AUD. Future alcohol interventions should target populations with poor coping behaviors.
