Abstract
- Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that affect the posttraumatic growth (PTG) among nurses caring for patients with COVID-19.
Methods
The subjects of this study were 194 nurses working at COVID-19 designated hospital who had experience in providing direct care for patients with COVID-19. Data were collected in November 2020 using self-administered questionnaires.
Results
Deliberate rumination(β =.51, p<.001), calling (β=.20, p=.001), and religion (β=.11, p=.023) were found to affect the PTG of the subjects.
Conclusion
The findings of this study demonstrate that it is necessary to develop intervention programs and policies to enhance deliberate rumination and calling in order to promote PTG among nurses providing care for patients with emerging infectious diseases.
