Abstract

The role of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia and its effects on them have impacted different facets of their professional and personal lives. This includes an increased workload, levels of stress, and a heightened vulnerability to the virus as they fulfill frontline duties in healthcare settings. Nurses have had to quickly adapt to new protocols and guidelines, thereby expending substantial efforts to provide healthcare services to patients during this challenging period despite all challenges.
