Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in Taiwan resulted in the highest mortality rate for medical personnel in Asia.
  • The crisis significantly challenged nurses' medical expertise and professional commitment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between knowledge sharing and professional commitment among Taiwanese nursing staff during the 2003 SARS crisis.
  • To assess the perceived impact of the SARS crisis on nurses' professional commitment and knowledge sharing.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey design was employed.
  • Data were collected using structured questionnaires distributed to 8056 nurses nationwide.
  • A total of 2833 nurses returned valid questionnaires, yielding a response rate of 39%.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge sharing demonstrated a positive correlation with professional commitment.
  • Knowledge sharing was negatively correlated with the impact of the SARS crisis.
  • While professional commitment showed a negative correlation with SARS impact, this effect became virtually insignificant when knowledge sharing was controlled, indicating knowledge sharing as a key antecedent variable.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary evidence suggests a significant correlation between knowledge sharing, the impact of SARS, and the professional commitment of nursing personnel.
  • Encouraging knowledge sharing in hospitals can improve medical personnel retention by bolstering professional commitment and reducing the impact of emerging infectious diseases.
