This study aimed to determine the anxiety level of candidate nurses and capture their perspective on the nursing profession in light of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
This descriptive study consisted of 322 nursing students in Turkey after the pandemic announcement of the World Health Organization. A web-based survey was used and anxiety levels was determined via State Anxiety Scale and Beck Anxiety Inventory.
Positive perspectives (63.4%) on the nursing profession before the pandemic decreased to 50.6%, whereas the negative (26.7%), and the undecided (9.9%) perspectives increased to 32.3% and 17.1%, of the total respectively. A significant increase was found in the anxiety scores with negative perspectives combined with an unwillingness to practice their profession in the future (P < .05).
Pregraduate training should be provided to candidate nurses about pandemic nursing and professional difficulties they may possibly encounter in infection epidemics.
本研究旨在确定候选护士的焦虑水平，并根据 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，了解他们对护理职业的看法。
本描述性研究包括土耳其的 322 名护理专业学生，该研究是在世界卫生组织宣布大流行之后进行的。采用基于网络的调查，通过状态焦虑量表和贝克焦虑量表来确定焦虑水平。
大流行前对护理职业的积极看法（63.4%）下降至 50.6%，而负面（26.7%）和不确定（9.9%）的看法则分别上升至 32.3%和 17.1%。具有负面观点且未来不愿意从事该职业的护士的焦虑评分显著增加（P<.05）。
应向候选护士提供关于大流行护理以及他们在传染病流行期间可能遇到的专业困难的本科前培训。
