Consistent with previous findings (Lai et al., 2020) , frontline nurses who engaged in clinical care of COVID-19 patients were at higher risk of depression in the current study. Considering the detrimental impact of depression on quality of life and quality of care (Ng et al., 2013) , health authorities should organize regular screening targeting depression, and develop preventive measures to alleviate the risk of depression by providing a timely provision of financial support, online psychological counselling service, and on-site psychological guidance as well as offering psychiatric treatment for vulnerable nurses directly engaged in the treatment and care of COVID-19 patients. ./cache/cord-341256-2j0tqmd4.txt ./txt/cord-341256-2j0tqmd4.txt
