Özet
Introduction: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan City, China, in 2019. E orts were made to cordon off the city in a bid to contain the virus. The tumultuous developments in nursing education, along with the national healthcare crisis caused by the COVID19 pandemic, formed a precarious direction for nursing faculty, many of whom had little prior experience teaching in an online environment. This literature review aims to understand the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing students. Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted with the following electronic databases: ProQuest, EBSCOhost, Medline, Google Scholar, PubMed and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Search terms included "psychological impacts," "mental health," "COVID-19," "pandemic", and "nursing students". The articles were reviewed based on relevance. The inclusion criteria consisted of (1) prelicensure nursing students; (2) mental health as the key issue; (3) during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; (4) journal article and a research manuscript. The critical review acknowledged 104 articles using the above keywords. After screening, 23 articles were relevant to be included in this review. Results: The review managed to obtain 23 selected articles. Five (5) themes were developed based on inductive thematic analysis, namely, depression, anxiety, stress, fear, and academic performance. Further analysis of the themes has resulted in ten (10) sub-themes related to mental health issues of nursing students during the pandemic. Conclusion: The study offers significance to the body of knowledge of the mental health of nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Future researchers should conduct studies focusing on the relationship between nursing students and depression. The nursing faculty of the educational institutions should provide further support to nursing students struggling with their mental health, like a helpline or online counselling to ease navigation through the changes in the curriculum and their career outlook.
