Background and Objective: The safe performance of nurses during the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is effective in reducing the costs and deaths caused by COVID-19 and reducing the hospitalization of patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the head nurses' perspective on nurses' performance in providing safe care to patients during COVID-19 epidemic.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during 2021-2022. The research population included all nurses with at least a bachelor's degree in nursing and at least six months of work experience. In this study, head nurses who were as evaluators had at least six months of leadership experience. The sample size was 118 subjects. The data were collected using a Safe Nursing Care Tool. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18 using an independent t test, analysis of variance and multiple regression. A value of P< 0.05 was considered significant.
Findings: The mean and standard deviation of the nurses’ age was 71.37±32.7 years. The mean of the nurses' total safe behavior score was 27.255±97.30 (at average level). There was a statistically significant relationship between nurses’ safe behavior and age (P=0.047) and nurses' working hours (P=0.005).
Conclusion: From the results, nurses' safety behaviors were average during COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, to improve nurses' safety behaviors, it is recommended that nurses be regularly trained in safety concepts and provided with feedback, and their safety performance be monitored and evaluated.
