This study aims to investigate the factors affecting nurses' professional commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commitment to a profession requires doing the best for that profession. In the case of the nursing profession, professional commitment gains greater importance in times of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 389 nurses in the Turkish state hospital. Institutional permissions, ethical approval and written consents from the participants were obtained before carrying out the study.
The participants' mean Perceived Organizational Obstruction Scale score was 20.07 ± 8.06 (min = 5.0, max = 35.0), and their mean Nursing Professional Commitment Scale score was 71.20 ± 11.94 (min = 30.0, max = 103.0). Socio-demographic variables and perception of organisational obstruction predicted 36.7% of the variance in the professional commitment (p < .001).
A road map based on the study results was developed for hospitals and nurse managers to maintain and increase nurses' professional commitment.
The results of this study may help institutions and nurse managers understand the factors affecting professional commitment during the pandemic as a whole, as well as determine primary strategies based on the importance of these factors.
本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行期间影响护士职业承诺的因素。
对职业的承诺意味着要为该职业尽最大努力。在护理职业的情况下，在危机时期，如 COVID-19 大流行期间，职业承诺变得更加重要。
这是一项在土耳其公立医院进行的横断面研究，共纳入 389 名护士。在进行研究之前，获得了机构许可、伦理批准和参与者的书面同意。
参与者的感知组织障碍量表平均得分为 20.07 ± 8.06（最小= 5.0，最大= 35.0），护理专业承诺量表平均得分为 71.20 ± 11.94（最小= 30.0，最大= 103.0）。社会人口统计学变量和对组织障碍的感知预测了专业承诺的 36.7%的变异（p<0.001）。
根据研究结果制定了一份路线图，为医院和护士管理人员提供了维持和提高护士职业承诺的方法。
本研究的结果可以帮助机构和护士管理人员全面了解大流行期间影响专业承诺的因素，并根据这些因素的重要性确定主要策略。
