The Change in the Thoughts and Feelings after the Orientation Education of Nurses Starting Work during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the change in the thoughts and feelings after the orientation education of nurses who started work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This research was designed as a semi-experimental study with a single group applied with pre-test and post-test. The study was conducted with 358 nurses. The data were collected using the “Nurse Info Form”, “Pre-Orientation Evaluation Form” and “Post-Orientation Evaluation Form”. Approval for the study was granted by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee and permission was also received from the institution where the study was conducted. Data obtained in the study were analyzed statistically using Number Cruncher Statistical System Statistical Software (Utah, USA). Results: In the examination of the positive feelings, there was seen to be a statistically significant increase after the orientation education compared to before concerning feeling self-motivated, satisfied, and safe. In the examination of the negative feelings, there was seen to be a statistically significant decrease after the orientation education compared to before concerning feeling anxious. Conclusions: The planning and application of orientation education taking the thoughts and feelings of nurses into account will facilitate adaptation to work.
