Employees in the nursing professions have been exposed to frequent psychological and emotional stress as well as severe physical demands since the Covid-19 pandemic (Schmucker 2020). Current publications have already addressed additional effects on the experience of stress. In an online survey by Hower et al. (2020), the managers of nursing facilities and services surveyed cited concerns about Covid-19 infections among those in need of care and employees as the greatest burden. A survey of health professionals shows similar results; 73% of respondents (n = 1,150) are concerned about the health of patients or residents, and even more (83%, n = 1,156) are concerned about the health of relatives and friends. More than half (54%, n = 624) feel stressed in their everyday work due to the pandemic (Wildgruber et al. 2020).
