Summary:Background Ample evidence across non‐healthcare fields highlights the role of work‐related flow in enhancing resilience against work stress and work engagement. Understanding flow and its factors can support staff development and management. Aims This study aimed to investigate the level of work‐related flow and its associated factors among frontline nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods A cross‐sectional multicenter study included 336 nurses caring for COVID‐19 patients between March and April 2022. Cluster random sampling was used to select 9 nurse groups from 29 Taiwanese hospitals specialized in COVID‐19 care. A web survey link was shared on the selected nurses’ social media. Hierarchical regression analyses examined predictor–outcome relationships, following the STROBE checklist for reporting findings. Results Among demographic characteristics, sex (β = −0.11; p = 0.016) and living arrangement (β = −0.12; p = 0.017) reached statistical significance in model 3. Social support from family, friends, and significant others, managerial position, and sufficiency of personal protective equipment showed significant associations with work‐related flow (all β > 0.12; p
