Abstract CN33
Background
The difficulties in offering quality nursing care to oncohematological patients hospitalized by COVID-19 during the pandemic may have generated added stress for the nursing professionals at the Institut Català d’Oncologia, requiring them to pay special attention to their emotional support needs.
Trial design
This study aims to find out the stress level of the professionals from the Institut Català d’Oncologia who have been working in the units with patients infected with COVID-19 and the stress factors that have increased it. Through a validated scale, “Perceived Stress Scale” (PSS), will be known the stress levels of healthcare professionals involved in the care of the oncohematological patient infected with COVID-19. Besides, another scale elaborated by the research team which is called “Ad-hoc” is used to know the stress factors that are more prevalent. To accomplish this, will be collected a sample of 100 (approximately) nurses and nursing assistants from the Institut Català d' Oncologia who have been involved with COVID-19 patients, including the 3 nursing shifts.
