Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nurses' fear of COVID-19, professional commitment and medical error tendency.

Methods: This study was use correlational research design with 312 nurses in January-April 2021. Data were collected online using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), the Professional Commitment Scale (PCS), and the Scale of Tendency to Medical Errors (STME). The study was approved by ethics committee. Number, mean, and standard deviation were used for sociodemographic variables. Participants' FCV-19S, PCS, and STME scores were calculated. The correlations between scale scores were determined using Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation analysis.

Results: Participants had a mean FCV-19S, PCS, and STME score of 19±8.17, 72.21±13.58, and 4.58±0.51, respectively. FCV-19S scores were weakly and positively correlated with PCS overall score (r=0.200, p<0.001), "willingness to make an effort (r=0.273, p<0.001)" and "belief in goals and values (r=0.115, p=0.043)" subscale scores. FCV-19S scores were weakly and positively correlated with STME "communication (r=0.119, p=0.036)" subscale score.

Conclusion: Nurses who feared more about COVID-19 were found to have higher professional commitment, greater willingness to make an effort, and stronger belief in goals and values. Nurses who feared more COVID-19 were less likely to make communication-related medical errors.

护士对COVID-19的恐惧、职业承诺与医疗差错倾向之间的关系

目的探讨护士对新冠肺炎的恐惧、职业承诺与医疗差错倾向的关系。方法采用相关研究设计，于2021年1 - 4月对312名护士进行调查。数据通过人口统计学特征问卷、COVID-19恐惧量表(FCV-19S)、专业承诺量表(PCS)和医疗差错倾向量表(STME)在线收集。该研究得到了伦理委员会的批准。社会人口学变量采用数量、平均值和标准差。计算参与者FCV-19S、PCS和STME评分。采用Pearson相关系数和Spearman相关分析确定量表得分之间的相关性。结果FCV-19S、PCS、STME平均评分分别为19±8.17、72.21±13.58、4.58±0.51。FCV-19S得分与PCS总分(r=0.200, p<0.001)、“努力意愿”(r=0.273, p<0.001)和“目标与价值观信念”(r=0.115, p=0.043)子量表得分呈弱正相关。FCV-19S得分与STME“沟通”分量表得分呈弱正相关(r=0.119, p=0.036)。结论对新冠肺炎的恐惧程度越高的护士职业承诺越高，付出努力的意愿越强，目标和价值观的信念越强。更担心COVID-19的护士不太可能犯与沟通相关的医疗错误。
