Abstract

An online survey of 288 Israeli nurses at the early COVID-19 phases showed that nurses’ perceptions of their organization preparedness (uniform messages and availability of PPE) is related to perceptions of resilience and anxiety. Organizational preparedness is a way to assure nurses’ resilience in the midst of a pandemic. A survey of nurses in a large medical-center and a geriatric hospital in Israel was conducted in mid-April. Organizational preparedness, in terms of knowledge transfer and availability of PPE, but not personal risk-factors, were associated with self-reported resilience and anxiety. Lessons can be widely transferable to other healthcare settings.
