Objective To investigate the current situation of stress load and professional benefit of hemodialysis nurses during the outbreak period and the remission period of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, and discuss the differences in stress load and professional benefit of hemodialysis nurses between the two periods.Methods In February 2020, 119 hemodialysis nurses from three hemodialysis centers in Sichuan Province were selected as the respondents. Using the Stress Overload Scale and the Questionnaire of Nurses’ Perceived Professional Benefits, questionnaire survey was conducted in February 2020 and April 2020, respectively. Paired-sample t test was used for analysis.Results A total of 109 valid questionnaires were collected. The scores of stress load of hemodialysis nurses in outbreak period and remission stage were 3.00±1.26 and 2.17±1.16, respectively, of which the scores of event load dimension were 3.49±1.15 and 2.31±1.27, respectively, and the scores of individual vulnerability dimension were 2.59±1.19 and 2.05±1.06, respectively; the professional benefit scores of hemodialysis nurses in outbreak and remission were 4.19±0.83 and 4.21±0.78, respectively. The difference in stress load of the same group of hemodialysis nurses between different time periods was statistically significant (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in professional benefit (P>0.05).Conclusions During the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, the stress load of hemodialysis nurses was ata medium level, and that in the remission stage of COVID-19 epidemic was at a low level; the professional benefit of nurses in the outbreak and remission period was at a high level. The stress load status of hemodialysis nurses was different between different periods of the epidemic. We should take incentive mechanism or targeted psychological intervention measures to improve the professional benefit level of nurses.
