Abstract

Coronavirus remains an important public health issue both nationally and globally, so all healthcare professionals including nurses should have a good knowledge and attitudes for educating their patients about Coronavirus and provide appropriate referral and support mechanisms to minimize the complication of disease [1]. COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly changing global health challenge affecting all sectors [2, 3]. The Health Care Workers (i.e. HCWs) are not only at the forefront of the fight against this highly infectious disease but are also directly or indirectly affected by it and the likelihood of acquiring this disease is higher among HCWs compared to the general population [4]. Therefore, it is importance that HCWs across the world have adequate knowledge and good attitudes about all aspects of the disease from clinical manifestation, diagnosis, proposed treatment and established prevention strategies. In this manuscript, a descriptive design study was conducted from 1st April to June 2021. The study samples consisting of 90 nurses were purposively selected in three hospitals (Al-Khansa Teaching Hospital, Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital, and Telafer General Hospital) in Mosul city The objectives of this study are to assess the knowledge and attitudes of nurses about the Covid19 using the multi attribute decision making technique where the data have been adapted and reconstructed to be as triangular single-valued neutrosophic numbers (TSVNN) and tackled these (TSVNN) into the neutrosophic structured element (NSE).
