Background and aims: At the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, nurses and healthcare workers in departments directly involved in combating the COVID-19 epidemic faced a variety of psycho-social stressors. This research aimed to predict the perceived vulnerability to disease based on their personality traits and cognitive emotion regulation in nurses.
Methods: This current research is a descriptive-correlational type. The study population included all nurses working in COVID-19 care departments in Tehran hospitals (such as Masih Daneshvari, Milad, Shariati, Luqman, Shahid Tajrish, Imam Khomeini, and Imam Hossein) in 2021. Data was gathered through questionnaires on perceived vulnerability to infectious diseases by Duncan, Sklar, and Park (2009), Costa and McCrae's Five Factor Model of personality (1985), and Gransefaki et al.'s (2002) cognitive-emotional regulation. The data was analyzed using descriptive tests and after confirming the statistical assumptions using the statistical method of hierarchical regression, by SPSS software.
Results: According to the findings of this research, personality traits of extroversion (P<0.042, t=2.04), openness to experience (P<0.013, t=2.50), cognitive regulation of positive emotions (P<0.019, t=2.35) were found to have a negative correlation, while conscientiousness (P<0.0001, t=4.13) and negative emotion cognitive regulation (P<0.0001, t=5) were positively correlated with changes in perceived vulnerability to infectious diseases.
Conclusion:The results of the study indicate that paying attention to the personality traits and emotional strategies in nurses and providing specialized training and counseling to these people it can be effective during epidemics in order to improve the vulnerability of perception.
