| Summary: | <h3>Aim</h3><p dir="ltr">This study aims to assess the role of nurses’ knowledge and attitude in relation to their willingness to work with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Qatar.</p><h3>Design</h3><p dir="ltr">A cross-sectional study.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">A self-administered, 35-item online survey was circulated to the Registered Nurses working in Hamad Medical Corporation, the principal healthcare provider in Qatar.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">A total of 580 attempts to complete the survey. Of them, 377 completed surveys with a response rate of 65%. Logistic regression was used to predict nurses’ willingness to work with patients with COVID-19. Nurses’ knowledge level and monetary compensation that is associated with the work-environment risk category were found to have a significant positive relationship with the nurses’ willingness to care for patients with COVID-19 (<i>p</i> < .05). The findings of this study may help nursing leaders design educational programmes and remuneration models that may help boost nurses’ willingness to work with high-risk patient groups, especially during a pandemic.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Nursing Open<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nop2.674" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nop2.674</a></p> |
