          ABSTRACT

          Objective:

          To analyze the uncertainties experienced by nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19.

          Methods:

          This qualitative research was conducted with 20 nursing professionals who fell ill from COVID-19. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews; the data were then organized using thematic analysis and discussed in the context of Merle Mishel’s Reconceptualized of Uncertainty in Illness Theory.

          Results:

          The antecedents of the disease had a strong influence on how nursing professionals who contracted COVID-19 perceived uncertainty. The media coverage of the increasing number of cases, the collapse of the healthcare system, and the high mortality rate contributed to associating the disease with fear and panic.

          Final Considerations:

          Viewing it from the perspective of the disease’s antecedents, the illness of a nursing professional from COVID-19 underscores that before being professionals, they are human beings just like anyone else, undergoing adversities and facing the possibilities associated with being ill.

          RESUMEN

          Objetivo:

          Analizar las incertidumbres experimentadas por profesionales de enfermería que enfermaron por COVID-19.

          Métodos:

          Investigación cualitativa realizada con 20 profesionales de enfermería que enfermaron por COVID-19. La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo mediante entrevista semiestructurada; los datos se organizaron a partir del análisis temático y se discutieron a la luz de la Teoría Reconceptualizada de la Incertidumbre en la Enfermedad de Merle Mishel.

          Resultados:

          Los antecedentes de la enfermedad tuvieron una fuerte influencia en la apreciación de la incertidumbre de los profesionales de enfermería que enfermaron por COVID-19. La difusión mediática del aumento de casos, el colapso del sistema de salud y el alto número de muertes contribuyeron a que la percepción de la enfermedad se asociara con el miedo y el pánico.

          Consideraciones Finales:

          Desde la perspectiva de los antecedentes de la enfermedad, el padecimiento de los profesionales de enfermería por COVID-19 mostró que, antes de ser profesionales, son seres humanos como cualquier otro, enfrentando adversidades y potencialidades de personas enfermas.

          Factors Associated With Mental Health Outcomes Among Health Care Workers Exposed to Coronavirus Disease 2019

          Key Points Question What factors are associated with mental health outcomes among health care workers in China who are treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 1257 health care workers in 34 hospitals equipped with fever clinics or wards for patients with COVID-19 in multiple regions of China, a considerable proportion of health care workers reported experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress, especially women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers directly engaged in diagnosing, treating, or providing nursing care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Meaning These findings suggest that, among Chinese health care workers exposed to COVID-19, women, nurses, those in Wuhan, and front-line health care workers have a high risk of developing unfavorable mental health outcomes and may need psychological support or interventions.

              COVID-19 diagnosis —A review of current methods

              A fast and accurate self-testing tool for COVID-19 diagnosis has become a prerequisite to comprehend the exact number of cases worldwide and to take medical and governmental actions accordingly. SARS-CoV-2 (formerly, 2019-nCoV) infection was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and then it has rapidly spread around the world, causing ~14 million active cases with ~582,000 deaths as of July 2020. The diagnosis tools available so far have been based on a) viral gene detection, b) human antibody detection, and c) viral antigen detection, among which the viral gene detection by RT-PCR has been found as the most reliable technique. In this report, the current SARS-CoV-2 detection kits, exclusively the ones that were issued an “Emergency Use Authorization” from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, were discussed. The key structural components of the virus were presented to provide the audience with an understanding of the scientific principles behind the testing tools. The methods that are still in the early research state were also reviewed in a subsection based on the reports available so far.
