ABSTRACT
Objective:
to analyze the relationship between the concern and fear of COVID-19 with fatalism in the daily work of nurses.Method:
analytical cross-sectional study carried out with a total of 449 nurses. Data collection was performed using instruments validated in Peru. In the analysis, the Shapiro-Wilk test and the Spearman correlation coefficient were used, and two multiple regression models were estimated, with variable selection in stages.Results:
nurses had a moderate level of fatalism and a low level of fear and concern about COVID-19. The first statistical model, which included sociodemographic variables, explains only 3% of the fatalism variance. However, a second model that includes fear and perception explains 33% of it.Conclusion:
Worry, fear and having been diagnosed with COVID-19 were predictors of fatalism. It is suggested the implementation of psycho-emotional interventions in daily work-aimed at Nursing professionals who present high levels of fear or concern-to reduce fatalism and prevent fatal consequences of the pandemic and promote health. © 2022 Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem.
