Nurse\u2013patient communication ability and the level of self\u2010efficacy are both significant for nurses\u2019 psychosomatic health and work input. However, limited empirical evidence exists regarding nurse\u2013patient communication and self\u2010efficacy and specific psychological intervention effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cross\u2010sectional research fulfilling the completed checklist of items that should be included in reports of cross\u2010sectional studies (Appendix S1).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nurses (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a041) in the first layer of pre\u2010examination and triage were engaged in a Balint group activity twice a week for two weeks. They were assessed with the General Self\u2010Efficacy Scale (GSES) pre\u2010 and postintervention, and a nurse\u2013patient communication survey form was developed for further postintervention evaluation. The sample was recruited from a class A third\u2010grade hospital in Sichuan, China.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most of the subjects reported improvement in nurse\u2013patient communication, increased cooperation between patients and their families, and a decreased missed examination rate after the intervention. Moreover, the total mean score of the GSES of nurses after the intervention was increased, but the difference was not statistically significant. The scores of all items in the GSES were improved, and the scores increase for item 4 (I am confident that I can effectively deal with any unexpected event) was statistically significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the COVID\u201019 pandemic, a short\u2010term Balint group activity can improve the communication ability and self\u2010efficacy level of front\u2010line nurses to some extent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>This information may provide some theoretical support for the development of early psychological interventions during major epidemic situations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.15489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,20]],"date-time":"2020-11-20T05:48:42Z","timestamp":1605851322000},"page":"93-100","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The effect of a short\u2010term Balint group on the communication ability and self\u2010efficacy of pre\u2010examination and triage nurses during COVID\u201019"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9040-7047","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chenghui","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences &amp; Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences &amp; Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychosomatic Medicine Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences &amp; Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuya","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Electronic Science and Technology of China &amp; Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.35.3.125"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13187-012-0407-3"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","first-page":"425","article-title":"A study on the relationship between job stress, self\u2010efficacy and job satisfaction in nurses","volume":"15","author":"Bong Y.
