ABSTRACT
Support system patterns of nurses were reviewed to identify patterns that will have a vast or less impact on the nursing services. It is sought to determine the different factors affecting the healthcare professionals' way of achieving the optimum healthcare delivery system, particularly with nurses working in a COVID-19 department towards patients and healthcare professionals. This study used the Walker & Avant (2019) concept analysis and integrative review method. Results revealed that nurses in COVID-19 facilities or other settings face different challenges. Depending on their way of managing these tasks, whether they will get stressed depends on their perspectives and goals entering the nursing field. Based on the overall analysis, a robust support system will promote positive work. Management of this support will help our nurses to regain self-esteem, boost their camaraderie with all other medical frontliners, and establish proper rapport with their patients, whether COVID-19 or non-COVID-19 related. Through appropriate support that can make a huge difference in society, a part of a healthy community is supported by nurses who are doing their jobs exceptionally and manifest in improving the healthcare delivery system.
