Exploring U.S. Nurses' Perceived Duty to Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic

CONCLUSIONS: This study adds to the literature about the components that affected nurses' perceived duty to care and willingness to report to work during the early months of the pandemic. Just as nurses have a duty to care, health care organizations have an obligation to provide a safe working environment so that nurses can fulfill that duty without sacrificing personal safety. The study findings may guide health care leaders, systems, and organizations regarding how to create safer work environments that support the nurse's duty to care during disasters.PMID:38598257 | DOI:10.1097/01.NAJ.0001014536.77472.17
