To investigate nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-19 during its late phase.
A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 354 nurses. The Demographic Information Form and the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Scale for COVID-19 (KAP COVID-19) were used to collect data. Data were evaluated using percentages, averages, one-way ANOVA, T-tests, Pearson correlation tests and regression analysis, with significance p < 0.05.
The mean COVID-19 knowledge score of the participants was 7.64 ± 1.54. Nurses had a moderate level of knowledge, a positive attitude towards controlling the pandemic, and a positive attitude towards Turkey's ability to win the battle against this virus. A discernable relaxation was observed in their COVID-19-related practices, such as wearing masks and avoiding crowded places. It was found that female gender and higher education level were influential in increasing COVID-19 knowledge scores (p < 0.05).
Identifying factors influencing healthcare providers' attitudes and behaviors towards the virus can guide the development of targeted training programs and policies during the pandemic.
调查护士在新冠疫情后期对新冠病毒的知识、态度和实践（KAP）情况。
对354名护士进行了一项描述性横断面研究。使用人口信息表和新冠病毒知识、态度和实践量表（KAP COVID-19）收集数据。数据采用百分比、平均值、单因素方差分析、T检验、Pearson相关检验和回归分析进行评估，显著性水平p<0.05。
参与者的新冠病毒知识平均得分是7.64±1.54。护士们具备中等水平的知识，对控制疫情持积极态度，对土耳其战胜这种病毒的能力也持积极态度。在他们与新冠病毒相关的实践中，如戴口罩和避免前往拥挤场所，观察到了明显的放松。研究发现，女性性别和较高的教育水平对提高新冠病毒知识得分有影响（p<0.05）。
确定影响医护人员对该病毒态度和行为的因素，可为疫情期间制定有针对性的培训计划和政策提供指导。
