Abstract:
The front lines of our healthcare system are staffed by nurses. The nursing profession requires a lot of physical and mental effort and Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the nurses’ attitudes towards the nursing profession. This study investigated the nurses’ attitudes towards nursing profession during pre-pandemic and pandemic periods in terms of professional factors, organizational factors, and social factors. Comparison of the differences between the nurses’ attitudes towards the nursing profession during pre-pandemic and pandemic periods was also determined. The study used a descriptive, cross-sectional research design. The locale of the study was Cavite and Batangas provinces, Region IV-A, Philippines and three hundred sixty-three nurses were the study participants. A researcher-made questionnaire was the tool for data collection. Mean, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis, and Wilcoxon tests were utilized for data analysis. The study revealed that nurses’ attitudes towards the nursing profession vary significantly before and during pandemic periods. Professional attitudes are best exemplified by nurses before the pandemic, while organizational and social attitudes during the pandemic. Social and professional factors are indicators of nurses’ attitudes towards the nursing profession. Male nurses working in government hospitals and well trained before the pandemic possess the most attitudes towards the nursing profession. Nobility, compassion, and competence continue to be the distinctive characteristics of the nursing profession. Also, public image still has considerable effect among nurses.
