dc.description.abstractPurpose: Nurses who care for COVID-19 patients are more likely to be affected psychologically than nurses who do not, and reactions such as increased fear may lead to psychological problems among nurses. The aim of this study was to determine the COVID-19 fear level of surgical nurses by using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Design: A descriptive and cross-sectional study. Methods: Totally, 202 surgical nurses who take care of suspected or infected COVID-19 patients working in pandemic and surgical units of a university hospital were included in the study. For data collection, Nurse Characteristics Form and Fear of COVID-19 Scale were used. Study data was analyzed with the descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman Correlation test. Findings: The mean total COVID-19 fear score of the nurses was 25.09 7.29 (min: 7, max: 35) and nurses who received training related to COVID-19 had statistically lower fear than those who did not (U = 3773.500; P= .027). Losing a patient because of COVID-19, being older and experienced in nursing significantly affected the total fear score of nurses (respectively, U = 3899.000; P= .004; rs = 0.152; P = .031, rs = 0.205; P = .003). Conclusions: Surgical nurses have a moderate level of COVID-19 fear and it is recommended to conduct appropriate on-line training programs to develop psychological support strategies.
