Abstract

This study aims to assess the crisis management and problem-solving skills of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19. The participants of this descriptive cross-sectional were 132 nurses who cared for patients with COVID-19 in a public hospital. The crisis management scale (CMS), problem-solving inventory (PSI), and Nurse Introduction Form were used to collect data. In this study, the nurses' CMS total score average was 3.75 ± 0.442, the average PSI total score was 86.32 ± 24.420, and it was determined that their crisis management ability was at a good level and their problem-solving skills were at a medium level. A significant difference was found between the nurses' descriptive characteristics of having children (P = .029), being informed about crisis management (P = .035), and their total average score on the CMS (P < .05). A statistically significant negative relationship was found between the nurses' total CMS and PSI scores (P < .05).This study showed that the problem-solving skill levels of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 affected their crisis management skills.
