Nurses with mental health disorders according to GHQ-30 were characterized 30 by a high intensity of coping styles focused on emotions (30.2%), avoiding (18.7%) and engaging in 31 alternative activities (32.3%) (p = 0.000). (5)
In the above description in abstract Line: 28, How we categorize population having mental disorder vs. not having mental disorders based on just GHQ-30. The authors did not assess the sample using DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. We may replace mental disorders with mental or psychological problems.

Comments and Suggestions for Authors
- I the opening : explain what you mean by "burnout"
RESPONSE: Thank you for this suggestion, we added : Burnout refers to the emotional depletion and loss of motivation that result from prolonged exposure to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job. Nurse burnout is the state of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion caused by sustained work-related stressors such as long hours, the pressure of quick decision-making, and the strain of caring for patients who may have poor outcomes. Nursing burnout can lead to feelings of cynicism, hopelessness, and even depression.
- Explain the impact of coping strategies and give an example
RESPONSE: Thank you for this suggestion, we explained the impact of coping strategies and added an example.
- Explain the difference between null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis
RESPONSE: The null and alternative hypotheses are two competing claims that researchers weigh evidence for and against using a statistical test:
- Null hypothesis (H0): There’s no effect in the population.
- Alternative hypothesis (Ha or H1): There’s an effect in the population.
The effect is usually the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
