This study aimed to determine the relationship between nurses' exposure to violence and their professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Violence against nurses is a common problem that persists worldwide.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
An online questionnaire form and the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale were used to collect the data. The study was carried out online during the COVID-19 pandemic between October-December 2020. A total of 263 nurses agreed to participate in the study. The STROBE checklist was followed for observational studies.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, 8.4% of the nurses stated that they were exposed to physical violence, 57.8% to verbal violence, 0.8% to sexual violence and 61.6% to mobbing. 52.1% of the nurses stated that they thought of quitting the profession during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mean total Nursing Professional Commitment Scale score was 71.33 ± 15.05.
This study revealed that nurses' exposure to physical, verbal and sexual violence during the COVID-19 pandemic decreased compared to before the pandemic. Nurses' exposure to mobbing during the pandemic was found to increase. A statistically significant difference was found between the status of the nurses' exposure to physical violence, verbal violence, and mobbing, working hours, number of patients given care, and their thoughts of quitting the profession. It was found that the status of exposure to physical violence, thinking of quitting the profession and working hours decreased professional commitment.
In the light of these results, it is recommended that measures to prevent violence should be addressed in a multifaceted way. In managing the pandemic process, the decisions and practices should not be left to the managers' initiative to prevent mobbing. Initiatives that will increase nurses' professional commitment during the pandemic process should be planned and implemented.
本研究旨在确定在新冠疫情期间护士遭受暴力与他们的职业承诺之间的关系。
针对护士的暴力行为是一个在全球持续存在的普遍问题。
这是一项描述性横断面研究。
使用在线问卷形式和护理专业承诺量表收集数据。该研究于2020年10月至12月新冠疫情期间在线开展。共有263名护士同意参与该研究。观察性研究遵循STROBE清单。
在新冠疫情期间，8.4%的护士表示遭受过身体暴力，57.8%遭受过言语暴力，0.8%遭受过性暴力，61.6%遭受过职场暴力。52.1%的护士表示在新冠疫情期间曾考虑过辞职。护理专业承诺量表的平均总分是71.33 ± 15.05。
本研究表明，与疫情前相比，护士在新冠疫情期间遭受身体、言语和性暴力的情况有所减少。研究发现，护士在疫情期间遭受职场暴力的情况有所增加。护士遭受身体暴力、言语暴力和职场暴力的状况、工作时长、护理患者数量以及他们的辞职想法之间存在统计学上的显著差异。研究发现，遭受身体暴力的状况、辞职想法和工作时长会降低职业承诺。
鉴于这些结果，建议应从多方面采取预防暴力的措施。在管理疫情过程中，不应仅由管理人员主动采取措施来防止职场暴力。应规划并实施在疫情期间增强护士职业承诺的举措。
