Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic is spreading rapidly, which creating pressure and challenges for nursing workers. The future epidemic prevention and control, mental health intervention and nursing management research were significant. The purpose of this research was to examine the psychological experience of front-line nurses responsible for nursing infected patients at the early stage of the global pandemic of COVID-19. The studies describing the psychological experience of first-line clinical nurses in the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects and narrative statements were extracted from the literature of APAPsyArticles, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Scopus, JBI, Web Of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, CBM Database as well as using the standards of the Australian JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center, the QARI system, and the SUMARI data extraction tool. The results showed that there are three outcomes of the synthesis: positive mental state, negative mental state, and demands/expectations. Positive and negative emotions of nurses coexist in the front line of the clinical outbreak. Nursing managers should pay attention to nurses' demands and expectations and encourage front-line nurses' psychological adaptation to changes in the working environment. Government, media and the public should fulfill their social responsibilities in eliminating the social stigma of COVID-19.
