Recent studies on the psychological impact and trauma-related responses of COVID-19 among healthcare workers are scarce and focused on symptoms of PTSD rather than ASD. In another study investigating mental health status among medical staff of which 69.9% were nurses, 27.39% of the study sample reported COVID-19 related symptoms of PTSD (Xing, Sun, Xu, Geng, & Li, 2020) .The importance of ASD diagnosis is based on its capacity to predict individuals who will develop PTSD. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative design was used in this study to (a) explore the prevalence of ASD and (b) investigate the predictors of psychological distress among Jordanian nurses amid COVID-19. Almost 65% of the variability in nurses' psychological distress was accounted for by their gender, age, income, history of mental disorders, acute stress, and coping self-efficacy. ./cache/cord-291643-c8dgf7mx.txt ./txt/cord-291643-c8dgf7mx.txt
