Influential factors affecting nursing performance amid COVID-19: A cross-sectional study on nurse preparedness for infectious diseases
This study, conducted among Korean nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals that self-efficacy and attitudes towards COVID-19 are key predictors of nursing performance, overshadowing knowledge's influence. These findings suggest the critical role of psychological factors in healthcare delivery during crises and underscore the need for enhanced focus on developing self-efficacy and positive attitudes in nursing education and professional development. Additionally, demographic and professional variables, including age, clinical experience, educational level, and marital status affect nursing performance.
