Background: The COVID-19 pandemic accentuated the great deficiencies and inequities in the health sector in Mexico, where the health wellbeing of nursing personnel was altered by increased dissatisfaction and work stress due to new care protocols, work overload, scarcity of human and material resources, as well as the loss of colleagues and family members. The aim of this study was to develop and test a model of health wellbeing based on working conditions, work satisfaction and stress in nursing staff during the first wave of COVID-19 in Tijuana, BC. Methods: Descriptive correlational study, measurement instruments were applied to 325 professionals to assess their health wellbeing, work satisfaction, work stress, physical activity and perception of aspects related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics, mean comparisons as well as Pearson and Spearman correlations were performed to develop a Path Analysis model. Findings: We found no difference in work stress or satisfaction with respect to the work area during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The obtained model predicted the health wellbeing of nursing professionals based on their perceived protection, disappointment, stress, and work satisfaction. Conclusion and application to practice: Work satisfaction, work stress, perceived work protection, and perceived work disappointment significantly predict health well-being in Tijuana nursing staff. The obtained model was the basis for the development of a pilot intervention test currently being applied to reduce work stress, increase job satisfaction and improve interpersonal relationships.
