对感知到的传染病威胁的心理和行为后果的研究仍处于早期阶段。目前的研究旨在通过(A)制定和验证冠状病毒(新冠肺炎)感知威胁的量表和(B)从资源节约理论的角度调查新冠肺炎感知威胁的结果、潜在机制和边界条件，从而为这一研究做出贡献。本研究认为新冠肺炎威胁感通过心理焦虑促进护士离职倾向。本研究进一步提出以意识形态契约作为缓冲，减少护士因心理焦虑而产生的离职倾向。本研究数据来自治疗新冠肺炎患者的巴基斯坦护士(N=117)的在线问卷调查。由Hayes开发的过程宏的模型4规范。调解、缓和和条件过程分析导论：基于回归的方法。纽约，纽约州：吉尔福德出版社。)被用来检验直接效应和间接效应，而模型1规范被用来检验调节假说。结果表明，护士对新冠肺炎威胁的感知增加了护士的心理焦虑(Beta=0.3，P<；0.001)和离职倾向(Beta=0.35，P<；0.001)。心理焦虑在新冠肺炎威胁感与离职倾向之间的关系中起着潜在的作用(间接效应=0.13，LL=0.05，UL=0.23)，这一中介假设也得到了支持。心理焦虑和意识形态契约对离职意向的综合效应为负且显著(β=-.33，P<；0.001)，证实了适度假设。这些结果为护理管理者提供了重要的启示。文中还讨论了研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。
The research on the psychological and behavioural consequences of the perceived threat of infectious diseases is still in its early stage. The current study aims to contribute to this line of research by (a) developing and validating a scale for the perceived threat of coronavirus (COVID-19) and (b) investigating outcomes, the underlying mechanism and boundary condition of the perceived threat of COVID-19 through the lens of conservation of resources theory. This study proposes that the perceived threat of COVID-19 enhances turnover intention among nurses through psychological anxiety. The study further proposes an ideological contract as a buffer reducing turnover intention among nurses as a result of psychological anxiety. The current study data were collected with online questionnaires from Pakistani nurses (N = 117) treating COVID-19 patients. The Model 4 specification of the process macros developed by Hayes. Introduction to mediation, moderation, and conditional process analysis: A regression-based approach. New York, NY: The Guilford Press.) was utilized to test direct and indirect effects, while the Model 1 specification was used to test the moderation hypothesis. The results showed that the perceived threat of COVID-19 enhances psychological anxiety (beta = 0.30,P < 0.001) and turnover intention among nurses (beta = 0.35,P < 0.001). The mediation hypothesis was also supported, as psychological anxiety playing an underlying role in the relationship between perceived threat of COVID-19 and turnover intention (indirect effect = 0.13,LL = 0.05,UL = 0.23). The combined effect of psychological anxiety and ideological contract on turnover intentions was negative and significant (beta = -.33,P < 0.001), confirming the moderation hypothesis. These results offer important implications for nursing managers. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
