RESUMEN
Purpose@#This study aimed to identify the relationship between job complexity, infection prevention environment, and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases, with a focus on the mediating effect of job crafting in hospitals dedicated to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). @*Methods@#The study surveyed 202 nurses with at least 3 months of work experience who encountered COVID-19 patients at a dedicated COVID-19 hospital. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS/WIN 25.0, and the mediating effect was analyzed through the SPSS PROCESS macro, using regression analysis. @*Results@#It was demonstrated that job crafting fully mediated the relationship between job complexity and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases. Furthermore, this study showed that job crafting partially mediated the relationship between infection prevention environment and nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases. @*Conclusion@#It was confirmed that job crafting of nurses in a hospital dedicated to COVID-19 was an important mediating factor in their nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases, and this finding is expected to support efforts to further improve nursing intention for patients with emerging infectious diseases.
