Popis: The rapid evolution of the pandemic did not allow for the preparation of different clinical settings. For this reason, the evaluation of the repercussions and the investment in improvement strategies has become important. The aim of this paper was to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on nursing practice environments in Mental Health and Psychiatric Units of three hospitals, through a quantitative observational study. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire with inquiries on the characterization and the SEE-Nursing Practice. We confirmed a positive impact on the Structure and Outcome components of the nursing practice environments and a negative impact on the Process component.
