  • AIM This study aims to assess the role of nurses\' knowledge and attitude in relation to their willingness to work with patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Qatar. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS A self-administered, 35-item online survey was circulated to the Registered Nurses working in Hamad Medical Corporation, the principal healthcare provider in Qatar. RESULTS A total of 580 attempts to complete the survey. Of them, 377 completed surveys with a response rate of 65%. Logistic regression was used to predict nurses\' willingness to work with patients with COVID-19. Nurses\' knowledge level and monetary compensation that is associated with the work-environment risk category were found to have a significant positive relationship with the nurses\' willingness to care for patients with COVID-19 (p < .05). The findings of this study may help nursing leaders design educational programmes and remuneration models that may help boost nurses\' willingness to work with high-risk patient groups, especially during a pandemic.
