This study aims to assess the role of nurses' knowledge and attitude in relation to their willingness to work with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Qatar.
A cross-sectional study.
A self-administered, 35-item online survey was circulated to the Registered Nurses working in Hamad Medical Corporation, the principal healthcare provider in Qatar.
A total of 580 attempts to complete the survey. Of them, 377 completed surveys with a response rate of 65%. Logistic regression was used to predict nurses' willingness to work with patients with COVID-19. Nurses' knowledge level and monetary compensation that is associated with the work-environment risk category were found to have a significant positive relationship with the nurses' willingness to care for patients with COVID-19 (p < .05). The findings of this study may help nursing leaders design educational programmes and remuneration models that may help boost nurses' willingness to work with high-risk patient groups, especially during a pandemic.
本研究旨在评估护士的知识和态度与其愿意在卡塔尔照顾 COVID-19 患者的意愿之间的关系。
横断面研究。
向在卡塔尔主要医疗保健提供者哈马德医疗公司工作的注册护士分发了一份 35 个问题的在线自我管理调查。
共尝试完成调查 580 次，其中 377 次完成了调查，应答率为 65%。使用逻辑回归来预测护士照顾 COVID-19 患者的意愿。发现护士的知识水平和与工作环境风险类别相关的货币补偿与护士照顾 COVID-19 患者的意愿呈显著正相关（p<.05）。本研究的结果可能有助于护理领导者设计教育计划和薪酬模式，以帮助提高护士对高风险患者群体的工作意愿，尤其是在大流行期间。
