Abstract

The nursing staff is more likely to experience drastic stress, which can compromise their physical and mental health and affect the quality of their work. This study aimed to assess the attachment type and affective temperament in connection to the psychological effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic on psychiatric hospital nurses. We conducted a cross‐sectional online survey utilizing a convenience sample population of 100 nurses who served on the front lines during the COVID‐19 outbreak. The key findings showed that most nurses reported moderate attachment anxiety, moderate affective temperament, and mild psychological distress. It is crucial to offer nurses psychological support during COVID‐19 through various channels.
