title="Coping strategies among nurses during the COVID -19 outbreak",
abstract="The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, which is responsible for COVID-19 disease, is a catastrophic global crisis, which is the background for individual emotional crises. One of the most vulnerable groups are medical staff, including nurses – especially those who are professionally most active during the pandemic. Preventive measures that have been taken in Asian countries in this target group include mainly problem-focused strategies. These are the same strategies that have already been used by Polish nursing teams in difficult work-related situations. The skills and potential of nursing teams aimed at activating these strategies during the epidemic will constitute a significant indicator of constructive coping with the crisis, not only in the case of individuals but also on a nationwide or even universal scale.",
