CREBILLO, CHARLENE MAE Y., CRUZ, CHEU MARIZ D. and FRANCIA, ALHAMED L. Perceived Psychological Impact of Covid-19 and Caring Behavior of Frontline Nurses in Selected Hospitals of Cavite.

Nurses are deemed essential to successfully progress in suppressing the COVID-19 pandemic and are deemed to be the centerpiece of post COVD-19 health systems. The mental health status of nurses has been reviewed and conducted in previous studies, but it was not adequately explored among the Filipino nurses who are working on the frontline; thus, the researchers pursued the study titled, Perceived
Psychological Impact of COVID-19 and Caring Behavior of Frontline Nurses in Selected Hospitals of Cavite. It was conducted to determine the perceived psychological impact of COVID-19 and caring behavior of frontline nurses in selected hospitals of Cavite.
The researchers used purposive sampling technique to 30 frontline registered nurses who are currently employed in selected hospitals in Cavite, Philippines. The correlation method was used in this research since it intended to investigate the correlation between the variables. Participants of the study were chosen based on the inclusion set by the researchers: a registered nurse, works in a public or private hospital, either full-time or contracted job status; provides services to coronavirus patients, at least with six months or more years Of work experience, and willing to be a participant of the study. The questionnaire used Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Caring Behavior Inventory (CBI-24) adapted and modified by the researchers, and evaluated by experts who are knowledgeable in assessing the tool.
The result showed that majority of the respondents were female, single, working as an emergency room nurse with work experience of 2.62 years in a public hospital. Anxiety (-48.58%) is more prevalent among nurses and showed lower rates on experiencing symptoms of depression and stress. It was found that there is a very high level of Caring Behavior among its subscales, Respectful Deference of Others had the highest rate (87.78%), while Assurance of Human Presence ranked lastly with rate score (77.50%). The demographic, in terms of sex, civil status, area of assignment, number of hours per duty and number of patients per duty, showed no significant difference with the two variables. However, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between their perceived psychological impact (Cramer's V= 0.68) and the institution, and caring behavior (Cramer's V and the institution.
This study implies that even when having anxiety, nurses, who cares for patients with COVID-19, try to place patient care behaviors as the most fundamental role of nursing as shown with the presence of caring, empathy, compassion, and good communication, so that a therapeutic relationship is established between patients and nurses. This study shows how nurses are still more concerned with giving respect as an important behavior for caring to COVID-19 patients despite the mental challenges posed to them.
