| Sumario: | Anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic is prevalent among the nursing workforce and has the potential to affect well-being and performance in the workplace. This paper reports on a joint education/nursing and midwifery workforce quality improvement initiative in the State of Qatar to address an urgent need for COVID-19 preparedness during the second wave of infection. A Simulation-Based Education (SBE) program was developed and delivered over a period of 2 months (February to April 2021) to prepare nurses for deployment to COVID-19 facilities. Perceived anxiety scores related to COVID-19 deployment were collected from 121 nurses before and after SBE attendance. The data demonstrates that SBE is an effective method to reduce deployment-related anxiety among registered nurses. |
