ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Coronaviruses belong to the family of Coronaviridae, which includes several types of viruses that are capable of contaminating and causing respiratory infections in mammals such as bats, camels, Asian masked civets, various species of birds and humans.Aim:
The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the management of patients with COVID-19 requiring high quality nursing care in order to improve patient outcomes, along with high demands on workload and human resources.Methodology:
An extensive review of the relevant literature of the last 15 years was performed via electronic databases (Google Scholar, Pubmed, Medline, Scopus, the Hellenic Academic Libraries Association -HEAL link) and scientific journals (English and Greek) using specific key words.Results:
COVID-19 sometimes causes different symptomatology in patients, resulting in the need for an individualised patient care plan. Nurses as part of their continuing education for COVID-19 should be able, through knowledge of the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of the disease, to diagnose active and potential problems in patients so that they can be resolved by implementing appropriate interventions.Conclusions:
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a major social and health crisis with a significant number of patients with severe disease requiring hospitalization, even in intensive care units, with no human and material resources readily available for their adequate and effective treatment and management.
