Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges in the working conditions of healthcare settings. Therefore, identifying the influence of working conditions, particularly in terms of decent work, on nurses' grit and interprofessional teamness during the pandemic is crucial. Aim: This study aimed to test the effect of nurses' experience of decent work on their levels of grit and interprofessional teamness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study among all ward nurses (N = 246) at Damanhour Chest Hospital, an isolation hospital in El Beheira, Egypt. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Decent Work Scale, the Grit Scale, and the Interprofessional Teamness Scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results: The experience of decent work had a positive correlation with nurses' grit (r = 0.69, p < 0.001) and interprofessional teamness (r = 0.58, p < 0.001). In addition, nurses' grit had a positive correlation with interprofessional teamness (r = 0.55, p < 0.001). The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, marital status, education, and experience of decent work accounted for 53.6% of the variance in nurses' grit. Moreover, education, experience of decent work, and grit accounted for 38.5% of the variance in interprofessional teamness among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the significance of decent work in enhancing the grit and interprofessional teamness of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendation: Nurse administrators should apply measures to improve working conditions, particularly during crisis periods, to enhance nurses' experience of decent work, as a way to enhance their grit and interprofessional teamness.
