As a follow-up to the American Nurses Foundation's first two Mental Health and Wellness surveys completed in summer 2020 and December 2020, and the COVID-19 Impact Assessment Survey - The First Year, completed in January-February 2021, the Foundation conducted this survey to determine the changes and further impact of the pandemic on the mental health and wellness of nurses, with additional enquiries concerning emotional health, post-traumatic stress, resiliency, and stigma around seeking professional mental health support. Between August 20 - September 2, 2021, there were 9,572 nurses who completed the survey.
