Özet

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the correlation between nurses' perceptions of job stress, job satisfaction, and caring behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The study, which has descriptive and correlational design, was conducted with 261 nurses working in a training and research hospital between December 2020 and January 2021. Data were collected with the "Descriptive Information Form", "Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale", "Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire" and "Caring Behavior Inventory-24". Data were summarized with number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA, Bonferroni test, Pearson test, and linear regression test in independent groups. Institutional permission, ethics committee approval, and written consent were obtained from the nurses. Results: The nurses' Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire, Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale and Caring Behavior Inventory-24 scores were found to be 1.04 (SD=0.24), 3.35 (SD=0.53) and 5.20 (SD=0.61), respectively. A weak negative correlation (r=-0.19; p<0.05) was found between the caring behavior and job stress, and a moderate positive correlation (r=0.36; p<0.05) was found between care behavior and job satisfaction. A significant difference was found between nurses' career choice, work unit, evaluation of the work environment before the pandemic, intention to leave work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the total score of the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that nurses' job stress level was low, and their job satisfaction and caring behavior perception levels were high.
