Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors related to nurses¡¯ intentions toward Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
Methods: The participants were 227 nurses, from three hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, Korea, who cared for patients directly. Based on the theory of planned behavior, nursing intention, key factors, and belief factors were measured using the modified nurses¡¯ intention to care for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome. Anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and depression by the Korean-Beck Depression Inventory. Data were collected via an online survey and analyzed using multiple regression.
Results: The mean of the nursing intention scores for COVID-19 patients was 0.54¡¾1.41. The predictors of nursing intention were perceived behavioral control (¥â=.38), attitude toward behavior (¥â=.28), and normative beliefs (¥â=.13) (Adj. R2=.49, F=27.89, p<.001). However, anxiety and depression did not affect nursing intentions.
Conclusion: To effectively manage the current COVID-19 pandemic, institutional and educational strategies must be developed to help nurses enhance their nursing practices and adopt a positive attitude toward the care of patients infected with COVID-19.
