ҹɫ���� and Joslin Marketing partnered to conduct a longitudinal study on the impact of COVID-19 on nursing leadership from July 2020 to February 2021. The first survey, conducted in July 2020, followed the initial surge, while ҹɫ���� fielded the second survey after the winter surge in February 2021. The findings, released this week, indicated a 24% drop in concern about personal protective equipment, but rising numbers of respondents expressed concern about staffing (a 12% increase to 65%) and mental health (an 18% increase to 67%). One nurse leader commented: “We have seen nurses leaving the profession due to moral distress, burnout, and fatigue. I believe if we can address the root cause of this problem, we will retain more nurses and begin to stabilize the numbers in the workforce.”
