Abstract

In consideration, the research aims to identify work-related stress in intensive care nurses who worked during the health crisis of the COVID 19 pandemic. A literature review study was carried out and 27 research articles related to the research topic were interpreted. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, health professionals working in the intensive care unit were under stress because they did not have all the biosecurity measures required to protect their staff, and because of the health crisis, medical supplies ran out and were scarce.
