Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerde belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ile ölüm kaygısı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.
Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki araştırma 449 hemşire ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Belirsizliğe Tahammülsüzlük Ölçeği ve Ölüm Kaygısı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: COVID-19 geçiren, COVID-19 nedeniyle yakınını kaybeden ve COVID-19 kaynaklı ölüme tanık olanlarda belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve ölüm kaygısının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Sonuçlar: COVID-19 pandemi sürecinin hemşirelerde belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve ölüm kaygısının arttırdığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda hemşirelerin COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde çalışma ortamı ve psikolojik ihtiyaçlar açısından değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
