This study was conducted to examine the relationship of the COVID-19-related anxiety, self-efficacy, resilience, and professional competence of nurses working in hospitals where COVID-19 patients are hospitalized. Additionally, this study attempted to identify factors that affect the professional competence of nurses. Using a cross-sectional descriptive study design, an online survey of 120 nurses working at hospitals where COVID-19 patients were hospitalized was conducted between February 9 and February 19, 2021. Pearson's correlations were used to assess correlations between the main variables, and stepwise multiple regression was used to identify factors influencing professional competence. Results of the study showed that the professional competence of nurses was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r =.58, p <.001) and resilience (r =.56, p <.001). The correlation between professional competence and COVID-related anxiety was not significant (r =-.03, p =.766). Factors affecting professional competence included self-efficacy (β=.36, p =.004) and resilience (β=28, p =.021). The model explained approximately 35% of the variance in nurse professional competence (F=33.65, p <.001). To fully demonstrate the professional competence of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, institution-based programs should be developed and applied to improve their self-efficacy and resilience. In order to prevent the burnout of nurses in the longer-than-expected COVID-19 pandemic, efforts and policies at the nursing organization level are needed to systematically manage and monitor self-efficacy and resilience of nurses.

본 연구는 COVID-19 팬데믹 상황에서 COVID-19 환자가 입원한 병원에서 근무하는 간호사들의 불안, 회복력, 자 기효능감 및 전문직 역량 간의 관계를 파악하고, 간호사의 전문직 역량에 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 시행되었다. 2021년 2월 9일부터 19일까지 코로나 환자가 입원한 병원에서 환자간호에 참여하는 간호사들을 대상으로 온라인 설문 조사하였으며 총 120명이 참여하였다. 자료분석은 Pearson’s correlation과 stepwise multiple regression을 사용하였다. 연구결과 간호사 의 전문직 역량은 자기효능감(r =.58, p <.001) 및 회복탄력성(r =.56, p <.001)과 양의 상관관계가 있었다. 전문직 역량에 미치 는 요인은 자기효능감(β=.36, p =.004) 과 회복탄력성(β=28, p =.021)이었으며 이 모형의 설명력은 전문직 역량 분산의 약 35%를 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. COVID-19 팬데믹 동안 간호사의 전문직 역량을 제대로 발휘할 수 있도록 병원 기반 프 로그램을 개발하고 적용하여 자기효능감과 회복탄력성을 향상시켜야 한다. 예상보다 긴 COVID-19 팬데믹 상황에서 간호사 의 소진을 예방하기 위해서는 간호사의 자기효능감과 회복탄력성을 체계적으로 관리하고 모니터링할 수 있는 간호조직 차원 의 노력과 정책이 필요하다.
