Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline healthcare workers experienced significant negative psychological impacts, which can seriously impair both their mental and physical well-being, as well as their job performance. As critical contributors to pandemic response, the mental health of ICU nurses warrants focused attention. This review examines the current mental health status of ICU nurses amidst the COVID-19 context and explores the key factors influencing their psycho-logical well-being. The goal is to provide insights that may aid in enhancing the mental health of ICU nurses actively engaged in epidemic prevention and control efforts in China.
