3. Résumé

Results of this study show «several negative and a few positive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in this population, affecting both occupational and personal life dimensions.» (p. 2159) On the personal level, «[t]he consequences for family emerging from our study were various, including positive aspects (increased income, benefits of working remotely and increased quality time with family) and negative aspects (marital difficulties, family conflicts and tension, decrease in income and work-family imbalance).» (p. 2160) In addition, the «results about isolation and lack of physical contacts are in line with many studies, where fear of transmitting the disease brought nurses to self-quarantine, thus feeling extreme isolation and loneliness (Kackin et al., 2020; Lee & Lee, 2020; Ness et al., 2021; Raza et al., 2020). Moreover, our sample reported that they used the opportunity posed by social isolation to start a healthier lifestyle, contrasting with Ness et al. (2021) who found that healthcare workers experienced negative changes in their physical activity routines.» (p. 2160)
