Abstract

This overview synthesizes findings from multiple cross-sectional studies on the psychological impact of various stressors on nurses. It reveals a high prevalence of depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout among nurses, significantly correlated with workplace violence (verbal and physical), heavy workloads, staffing shortages, and incivility. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these issues, adding fear of infection and resource scarcity to the burden. Studies highlight the urgent need for robust psychological support, preventive measures, policy changes, and improved working conditions to mitigate distress, enhance coping, and ensure nurse retention across all specialties, including forensic nursing.
