Message

Nursing is a systematic, deliberate caring process with individuals, families, and communities in promoting health, reducing risk, preventing disease, managing illness, and supporting clients in all phases of life. World Health Organization (WHO) places the role of nurses as very critical in lessening people's risk to various diseases ranging from cardiovascular diseases to cancer and chronic respiratory diseases to diabetes. The present global health crisis has impacted everyone and the current situation is particularly challenging as we are charting our way through unknown territories of an unprecedented pandemic. But we know there is a way out as we work together towards a safe and secure future. Nurses have obligations towards themselves as much as towards others. Investment in one's well-being is not optional, it's mandatory. It's not post-traumatic stress but this feeling in some people that they're acting against their own conscience in certain actions during the crisis. The fallout of that is significant moral distress or moral injury, which accumulates over time. We can't wait to take measures to manage that distress. We must begin immediately. We want to provide recommendations from frontline nurses to inform our healthcare system's future responses to crises so that we are never unprepared in the way we were with COVID-19.
