Abstract :Aim: This study investigated the effect of nurses\\\' feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and measures for COVID-19 on their attitudes toward caregiving roles. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a descriptive and cross-sectional online survey. This descriptive study was conducted between August 1 and October 1, 2021. The study population consisted of all nurses living in a city with at least one year of work experience. The sample consisted of 306 nurses recruited using random snowball sampling. Data were collected online using a personal information form, the Multi-Dimensional COVID-19 Scale, and the Attitude Scale for Nurses in Caregiving Roles. In the study data analysis, Shapiro Wilk test, parametric tests, independent sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression models were used. Results: Participants had a mean age of 33.17 ±8.14 years. Most participants were women (85.6%). Participants’ attitudes toward caregiving roles were affected by Multi-Dimensional COVID-19 Scale and subscales. The multiple regression model was statistically significant. Having a high school, associate’s, or bachelor\\\'s degree decreased the participants\\\' Attitude Scale for Nurses in Caregiving Roles scores. Nurses\\\' \\\"thoughts about COVID-19\\\" and \\\"precautions taken regarding COVID-19\\\" increased the Nurses\\\' Attitude Scale Towards Care Roles scores. Conclusion: There was a positive correlation between nurses\\\' attitudes toward their caregiving roles during the pandemic and their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and measures regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
