ABSTRACT
 Objective: With the emergence of the pandemic, many studies have been conducted to measure the psychological and mental well-being of nurses. However, coronaphobia and the perception of compassion in nurses and related factors, is unknown. The purpose of the study is to examine the perception of coronaphobia, compassion and the associated factors affecting these concepts in nurses during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Material and Methods: This study was conducted as cross-sectional research design. The study sample included nurses working at a hospital in Türkiye between August and November 2020. A Personal Information Form, the Compassion Scale and the COVID-19 Phobia Scale were used for data collection. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to examine the determinants and the influencing factors. Results: A total of 152 nurses participated in the study. Gender, family structure, desire to work as a nurse in the clinic and having a chronic disease were found to be associated with coronaphobia. Working in COVID-19 clinics, family structure, and a desire to work in the nursing profession were found to be related to compassion. In addition, a positive correlation was found between coronaphobia and compassion. Conclusion: This study showed the levels of coronaphobia and compassion in nurses, and the relation between these concepts and the factors affecting them. It is recommended that accurate and regular information updates, and that psychological support be given to nurses to reduce the phobia and to increase the compassion.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Pandeminin ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte hemşirelerin psikolojik ve zihinsel iyilik hâllerini ölçmek için birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Ancak hemşirelerde koronafobi, şefkat algısı ve bu kavramlarla ilişkili faktörler bilinmemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] salgını sırasında hemşirelerde; koronafobi, şefkat algısı ve bu kavramları etkileyen ilişkili faktörleri incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada, kesitsel bir araştırma tasarımı kullanıldı. Araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye'de Ağustos-Kasım 2020 tarihleri arasında bir hastanede çalışan hemşireler oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Merhamet Ölçeği ve COVID-19 Fobi Ölçeği kullanıldı. Belirleyicileri ve etkileyen faktörleri incelemek için tek değişkenli ve çok değişkenli regresyon analizleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 152 hemşire katıldı. Cinsiyet, aile yapısı, klinikte hemşire olarak çalışma isteği ve kronik bir hastalığın olması koronafobi kavramı ile ilişkili bulundu. COVID-19 kliniklerinde çalışma, aile yapısı ve hemşirelik mesleğini yapma isteği şefkat kavramı ile ilişkili bulundu. Ayrıca koronafobi ile şefkat arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelerde koronafobi ve şefkat düzeylerini, bu kavramlar arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu kavramları etkileyen faktörleri ortaya koymuştur. Hemşirelerde koronafobiyi azaltmak ve şefkat düzeylerini artırmak için doğru ve düzenli bilgi güncellemeleri yapılması, psikolojik destek verilmesi önerilmektedir.
