A web\u2010based online survey among Hong Kong nurses was conducted. The questionnaire included a self\u2010designed 5\u2010point Likert scale with 17 items to assess the nurses' perceptions of COVID\u201019\u2010related policies and risks, as well as the Davidson Trauma Scale (DTS), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Patient Health Questionnaire\u20102 (PHQ\u20102) and the Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD) for measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), stress, depression and anxiety, respectively. Of 592 nurses enrolled, 30.6% had PTSD (DTS total score \u226540), and 80.4%, 19.9% and 16.4% had moderate\u2010to\u2010high levels of stress (PSS\u201010 score \u226514), depression (PHQ\u20102 score \u22653) and anxiety (GAD score \u22653), respectively. The top three concerned aspects were \u2018worried about themselves and friends to suffer this disease\u2019 (84.5%), \u2018insufficient number of isolation wards\u2019 (81.8%) and \u2018insufficient number of personal protective equipment\u2019 (74.3%). Logistic regression analyses showed that more negative perception on \u2018personal protective equipment in the healthcare institutions\u2019, \u2018the confidence in HK's control of COVID\u201019\u2019, \u2018worried about themselves and friends to suffer this disease\u2019 and \u2018self\u2010perceived risk of infection\u2019 indicated higher severity of the four mental health problems (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). The perception on \u2018public gathering ban\u2019, \u2018the number of isolation wards\u2019 and \u2018expected time to control COVID\u201019\u2019 were significantly associated with PTSD and stress (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Nurses' perception on government policies and COVID\u201019 risks played an important role in predicting their mental health status. Policy makers should be aware of nurses' psychological responses and provide timely and targeted emotional support to nurses amid and after the COVID\u201019 pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/inm.13382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,18]],"date-time":"2024-06-18T04:32:40Z","timestamp":1718685160000},"page":"2130-2144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Influence of Nurses' Perceptions of Government Policies and COVID\u201019 Risks on Their Mental Health Status: A Web\u2010Based Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9289-4985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yao Jie","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9881-6504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chun","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1255-2924","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Longben","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5578-1324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linjia","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Nethersole School of Nursing The Chinese University of Hong Kong  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7198-4188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoli","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0361-6527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harry Haoxiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"},{"name":"Usher Institute, Deanery of Molecular, Genetic &amp; Population Health Sciences The University of Edinburgh  Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0439-4804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yang","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport, Physical Education and Health Hong Kong Baptist University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0073-4752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dexing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"JC School of Public Health and Primary Care The Chinese University of Hong Kong  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2460-7785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhao\u2010min","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health Sun Yat\u2010Sen University  Guangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6117-3832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huilin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1760-5105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fei Wan","family":"Ngai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University  Hong Kong SAR China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2020.06.047"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3855\/jidc.6925"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/j.ctv2qnx5gh.30"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003727-200507000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2021-052683"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1819.2001.00895.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1874434601610010099"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jnu.12874"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","first-page":"31","volume-title":"The Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology.
