Introduction: Mental health of employees, especially nurses and the work environment play a decisive role in the quality and safety of patient care. The outbreak of the corona pandemic has led to a high degree of uncertainty and has filled health systems with a variety of challenges. The aim of this study was to compare job motivation, mental health, psychological flexibility and psychological capital of corona nurses with other hospital wards.
Methods: The research method was descriptive-comparative causal. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all nurses in Corona ward and other wards in Ahvaz in 2020. Among them, 100 nurses (50 nurses in Corona ward and 50 nurses in normal wards) were selected as the sample by sampling method and were assigned to job satisfaction questionnaires. Scaofley et al. (2002), Goldberg and Hiller (1979), mental flexibility Dennis and Wendwall (2010), and Loatz (2007) psychological capital responded. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between job motivation, mental health, psychological flexibility and psychological capital between the two groups of nurses (P <0.01). Thus, the level of job motivation, psychological flexibility and psychological capital of nurses in normal wards was higher, and mental health, which included anxiety and depression, was higher in nurses in coronary wards.
Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that corona nurses feel less job security, which leads to anxiety and stress in them, which requires more attention and investigation by the relevant authorities.
