Structured questionnaires, including general information questionnaire, professional practice environment scale and nursing quality questionnaire, were used to investigate the patients. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between nursing practice environment and nursing quality, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of nursing quality in the COVID-19 ward. The professional practice environment scale score was (3. 34 +/- 0. 40), the nursing quality questionnaire score was (9. 47 +/- 0. 81), both at a high level.
