DESCRIPTION:A Mixed Methods Approach to Exploring Nurses’ COVID-19 Experi
 ences and Identifying Effective Coping Strategies for Common Nurse Strains
 \n\nGiven the substantial range of stressors exacerbated by COVID-19 and t
 heir detrimental effects on healthcare workers\, researchers have called f
 or a more thorough investigation into how COVID-19 has impacted the health
  and well-being of healthcare workers. With nurses working on the frontlin
 es of the COVID-19 pandemic\, there is a sense of urgency to empirically g
 ather information on these experiences\, particularly for those working in
  epicenters of the outbreak. The primary goal of this collected papers dis
 sertation is to help inform organizational policies and practices in the h
 ealthcare industry related to nurses’ health and well-being. As such\, t
 his dissertation utilized a mixed-method design to 1) document and describ
 e South Florida nurses’ lived experiences of working during the COVID-19
  pandemic and 2) identify effective coping strategies for STS\, burnout\, 
 and compassion fatigue\, strains that nurses are especially vulnerable to 
 and may be exacerbated by the challenges associated with the current pande
 mic.\n\nThe first study in this dissertation used a qualitative design and
  thematic analysis to identify seven themes associated with understanding 
 nurses’ COVID-19-related workplace experiences: challenges related to wo
 rking conditions\, changes to quality of patient care\, the impact of COVI
 D-19 on physical and mental health\, the nursing shortage\, post-traumatic
  growth\, leveraging personal resources to cope with workplace experiences
 \, and strategies for retaining the nurse workforce and preparing for futu
 re health crises.\n\nThe second study in this dissertation used meta-analy
 tical techniques to identify coping strategies with the strongest empirica
 l support for reducing three strain outcomes (STS\, burnout\, and compassi
 on fatigue) and found that social support had the strongest empirical supp
 ort for reducing burnout\, while self-care had the strongest empirical sup
 port for reducing compassion fatigue. Due to the limited number of studies
  and exclusion criteria\, STS was not meta-analyzed. Findings from both st
 udies have important implications for how healthcare organizations create 
 healthy workplaces for nurses and facilitate employee well-being.\n\nMajor
