ABSTRACT
The pandemic due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a variable presentation in the population, from mild to severe cases where large hospital supplies are required for its care. In the case of immunosuppressed patients this disease has had an uncertain behavior in terms of its presentation as well as its prognosis. This clinical case shows a presentation of a prolonged course of COVID-19 associated with a state of immunosuppression due to maintenance treatment with rituximab due to the diagnosis of follicular lymphoma, where a course of migratory pneumonia without the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome is observed (ARDS) being that unlike what has been published in the literature a control and maintenance of the disease is shown only with the use of remdesivir, however the prognosis of the patient is conclusively unknown.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Nurses are at high risk of experiencing stress when treating patients with COVID-19. The presence of an outbreak could also result in burnout among nurses due to job stress, poor hospital resources for the treatment, and inadequate support from family and friends. All of these related obstacles might be interfered with the intention of nurses to work during a pandemic. AIM: The objective of the study was to identify perceived stress and intention to work during the COVID-19 pandemic among nurses. METHODS: An online-based cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses in Indonesia. There were 238 responses received. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine for data analysis. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between perceived stress and intention to work (p < 0.001). The regression model showed the variance in the perceived stress with other main predictors. CONCLUSIONS: To maintain an adequate workforce during the pandemic, hospital management should ensure adequate hospital goods supply and deploy retention strategies to retain clinically experienced nurses.
