Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a good study. However, I have some minor change requests. Please provide more references, if possible, both in the introduction and discussion. These study findings are in line with the study you have done: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e06715; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e06985; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dialog.2022.100037. If possible, you can read and cite this similar studies. All the studies related to COVID-19 and the mental health of healthcare professionals, including nurses.
Best of luck with your revised version of this good piece of work.

Reviewer 2 Report
The research is very interesting anche could be improve in other hospital, as you wrote. I think that is important to explore (in the introduction and in the discussion) the link between the transition shock anche emotional regulation, as some results (by literature and your research) highlight.
Then, in the discussion, you could deepen the transition shock impact on health in general (eg. Turchi, G. P., et al. (2022). A contribution towards health. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 28(5), 717) and in other areas (work transition, environment transition etc).
