The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between epidemic management and manager support in healthcare institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic through the perception of healthcare workers. In the research, a scale development study was conducted for the "Epidemic Management Perception Scale". This scale determines the epidemic management practices in health institutions through the perceptions of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study is a methodological quantitative research. The data were collected from 365 healthcare workers using a systematic random sampling method. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed for the validity of the "Epidemic Management Perception" Scale. Cronbach's Alpha value was used in the reliability analysis of the scale. The theoretical model was tested using the Structural Equation Model.
Epidemic Management Perception Scale was introduced to the literature as a valid and reliable assessment form. In the research, relationships between variables were modeled using structural equation modeling. As a result of the research, a high positive and significant relationship was found between healthcare workers' perception of epidemic management and manager support in the healthcare institution during the COVID-19 pandemic ( = 0.606; : %36). In addition, a highly positive and significant relationship was found between healthcare workers' perception of manager support and epidemic management sub-dimensions. (Planning : 30.8%, Organization : 26. 2%, Management : 21.9% and Control : 36.2%).
It was determined that manager support played an important role in healthcare workers' positive response to epidemic management practices in healthcare institutions. The supportive attitude of managers in health institutions is the most important factor in overcoming the epidemic process. It is important to inform health managers about the importance of manager support and to organize the necessary training activities.
本研究旨在通过医护人员的认知来确定新冠疫情期间医疗机构中疫情管理与管理者支持之间的关系。在该研究中，针对“疫情管理认知量表”开展了一项量表开发研究。此量表通过医护专业人员在新冠疫情期间的认知来确定医疗机构中的疫情管理实践。
本研究是一项方法学定量研究。采用系统随机抽样方法从365名医护人员处收集数据。对“疫情管理认知”量表的有效性进行探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析。在量表的信度分析中使用克朗巴哈系数值。使用结构方程模型对理论模型进行检验。
疫情管理认知量表作为一种有效且可靠的评估形式被引入文献。在该研究中，使用结构方程模型对变量之间的关系进行建模。研究结果显示，在新冠疫情期间，医护人员对医疗机构中疫情管理的认知与管理者支持之间存在高度正相关且显著的关系（=0.606；：36%）。此外，医护人员对管理者支持的认知与疫情管理子维度之间也存在高度正相关且显著的关系。（规划：30.8%，组织：26.2%，管理：21.9%，控制：36.2%）。
已确定管理者支持在医护人员对医疗机构疫情管理实践的积极响应中发挥着重要作用。医疗机构管理者的支持态度是战胜疫情过程中最重要的因素。告知卫生管理者管理者支持的重要性并组织必要的培训活动很重要。
