Factors Affecting Nursing Intention for Patients with Emerging Infectious Diseases among Nurses in Hospitals Dedicated to COVID-19: A Focus on the Mediating Effects of Job Crafting

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship between job complexity, infection prevention environment, and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases, with a focus on the mediating effect of job crafting in hospitals dedicated to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods: The study surveyed 202 nurses with at least 3 months of work experience who encountered COVID-19 patients at a dedicated COVID-19 hospital. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 25.0, and the mediating effect was analyzed through the SPSS PROCESS macro, using regression analysis.Results: It was demonstrated that job crafting fully mediated the relationship between job complexity and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases. Furthermore, this study showed that job crafting partially mediated the relationship between infection prevention environment and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases.Conclusion: It was confirmed that job crafting of nurses in a hospital dedicated to COVID-19 was an important mediating factor in their nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases, and this finding is expected to support efforts to further improve nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases.

Factors Influencing SARS-CoV-2 Infection Control Practices of Nurses Caring for COVID-19 Patients in South Korea: Based on Health Belief Model

“…At the time of this study, the COVID-19 outbreak was prolonged, the provision of supplies and facilities for infection prevention were better prepared, and vaccinations had been implemented. According to our findings, the items on medical waste/laundry and PPE were high, which was similar to that of a previous study [ 31 ]. However, the number of health checkups of hospital staff was low.…”

“…Quality of infection prevention environment in this study was 4.14 points (5 points). It was lower than 4.23 points (5 points) for emergency room nurses [ 9 ] and higher than 3.88 points for COVID-19 hospital nurses [ 31 ], which was measured using Han and Moon’s [ 23 ] tool. At the time of this study, the COVID-19 outbreak was prolonged, the provision of supplies and facilities for infection prevention were better prepared, and vaccinations had been implemented.…”

The Influencing Factor of Motivation to Transfer, Work Value, Social Responsibility on Nursing Intention for Patients with Emerging Communicable Diseases among Nursing Students

“…이와 같은 신종감염병의 장기간 유행은 간호대 학생의 감염병에 대한 두려움과 심리적 불안을 야기하여 신종 감염병 환자 간호의도에 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다 [3]. 현재까지 진행된 신종감염병 환자 간호의도에 대한 선행연 구는 간호전문직관, 도덕성 민감성과 사회적 지지 [16], 직무 복 잡성과 감염예방 환경 [17], 그리고 계획된 행위 이론에서의 핵 심요인이나 신념요인 [18]의 연구변수들과의 연구가 주를 이루 었다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 임상간호사 [18,19], 국공립병원 간호사 [16], 코로나 전담병원 간호사 [17]…”

Development and Evaluation of Passion Continuation Program based on GRIT Theory for Nurses in COVID-19 Pandemic: A Non-Randomized Experimental Study

“…Third, the experimental group that participated in the 'Passion Continuation Program' showed significantly higher job crafting scores right after the intervention and 4 weeks after than the control group. In the previous studies, Lim and Park [17] modified Job Crafting Questionnaire (JCQ) developed by Slemp and Vella-Brodrick for office workers in multiple occupations, which is the Korean Version of Job Crafting Questionnaire (JCQ-K) to be used in this study, and it has 15 questionnaires with 6-point Likert scale [17][18][19]. Lim and Park [17] showed 3.87 points for nurses in the hospitals exclusive for patient with COVID -19; Cho and Kim [18] showed 3.82 points for nurses in the general hospitals; and Kwon and Lee [19] showed 4.40 points for nurses in the public institutions.…”

“…Also, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may not end anytime soon, nurses who are working in the clinical practices need to have the passion for positive endeavors in clinical settings and have job crafting that makes their work meaningful [12]. Studies on GRIT which has been recently empathized in nurses were conducted related to job satisfaction [13], retention intention [6,9,13,14,18], clinical practice ability [14], job engagement [9,19], burnout [15], emotional labor [6], work-life balance [16], nursing intention with job crafting [17], nursing organization culture, organizational health [18], career management behaviors [19], and organizational efficiency [20]; however, few intervention studies were conducted to enhance GRIT.…”
