Data were collected online using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), the Professional Commitment Scale (PCS), and the Scale of Tendency to Medical Errors (STME). The study was approved by ethics committee. Number, mean, and standard deviation were used for sociodemographic variables. Participants’ FCV-19S, PCS, and STME scores were calculated. The correlations between scale scores were determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation analysis.ResultsParticipants had a mean FCV-19S, PCS, and STME score of 19±8.17, 72.21±13.58, and 4.58±0.51, respectively. FCV-19S scores were weakly and positively correlated with PCS overall score (r=0.200, p<0.001), ‘’willingness to make an effort (r=0.273, p<0.001)’’ and ‘’belief in goals and values (r=0.115, p=0.043)’’ subscale scores. FCV-19S scores were weakly and positively correlated with STME “communication (r=0.119, p=0.036)” subscale score.ConclusionNurses who feared more about COVID-19 were found to have higher professional commitment, greater willingness to make an effort, and stronger belief in goals and values. Nurses who feared more COVID-19 were less likely to make communication-related medical errors.
