Abstract

This is a cross-sectional study using purposive sampling. There were 76 respondents who participated in the survey. Data were collected from the Demographic Questionnaire and Multidimensional Social Support Scale. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA were the statistical tools used in this study. The study concluded that 1) The income levels of local emergency nurse vary widely. When it comes to the income, there is not much difference in the number of respondents. This shows that the income level has no significant effect on the social support of nurses, 2) According to Elkader 920190, during the outbreak, half of the nurses were not required to work night shifts. The night shift work system negatively effects work performance. There is significant relationship between night shifts and social support, 3) According to demographic factors during the pandemic, respondents received the most social support in the family and close friends' subgroups and received the least social support in the leader and supervisor subgroups. Respondents' overall social support is at a low-to-medium level.
