Abstract

Background/Purpose: During the coronavirus pandemic, courses were offered online in departments of nursing, and hence, clinical practices were interrupted. Along with the fall in coronavirus cases, the decision to switch from online education to face-to-face education was taken. This research was carried out to determine the fear of coronavirus and professional commitment levels of nursing students who switched from online education to face-to-face education.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research was performed with 340 nursing students. The research data were gathered online with the Personal Data Form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), and the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale (NPCS).
Results: The mean of nursing students’ FCV-19S scores was found as 16.44±6.03 whilst the mean of their NPCS scores was identified as 79.67±10.53. It was identified that there was no statistically significant relationship between nursing students’ FCV-19S and NPCS scores (p>0.05).
Conclusion: It was discerned that nursing students had a fear of coronavirus below the average while they exhibited moderate professional commitment, and there was no statistically significant relationship between the fear of coronavirus and professional commitment.
