چکیده

Introduction: Emergency Room (ER) nursing can be very stimulating, but can also be demanding. Nurses in the ER may be exposed to traumatic events which have a toll on their mental wellbeing; these however have not been adequately studied especially in developing climes. This study therefore sought to assess the mental health status of ER nurses in selected tertiary hospitals in Ogun State.
 
Materials and Methods: The research utilized a quantitative cross-sectional design conducted within a six-week period between February 2024 to March, 2024 in Ogun State, Nigeria.  An aggregate of 117 nurses were engaged for the study adopting a structured questionnaire composed of standardized instruments to evaluate mental health status of emergency room nurses. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and SPSS version 28.0.
 
Results: There was an even age distribution among the study participants with majority (88%) being females and staff nurses (44.6%). The findings showed that 61.4% of the respondents stated to have had signs of burnout, anxiety or depression within the space of a year. However, 45.8% did not feel adequately supported in managing work related stress and mental health challenges. On standardized assessment, it was further revealed that 27.7% were shown to have mild to severe levels of anxiety while a substantial proportion (81.9%) were assessed as having moderate to severe clinical insomnia.
 
Conclusion: Emergency room nurses are prone to work related mental health challenges which may often be neglected and left without adequate management.
