Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic still challenges nurses who served on the front lines. This study examined mental health and quality of professional life in 45 participants. Participants reported severe psychological distress, occupational exhaustion and depersonalization, and high levels of burnout. Both caregiver and patient need compassion and support.
