Summary
Clinical nurses' communication ability significantly impacts nursing performance, primarily through enhancing self-efficacy. This study highlights the crucial role of effective communication and self-belief in improving healthcare outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Management
- Psychology
Background:
- Effective communication and self-perception are vital for clinical nurses.
- Understanding the interplay between communication, self-leadership, self-efficacy, and performance is essential for improving nursing quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the structural relationships among clinical nurses' communication ability, self-leadership, self-efficacy, and nursing performance.
- To identify factors influencing nursing performance and analyze the mediating effects of self-leadership and self-efficacy.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted among 168 clinical nurses in the Republic of Korea.
- Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed using SPSS 24.0 and Amos 23.0.
- Mediating effect analysis was performed using bootstrapping.
Main Results:
- The proposed structural model demonstrated good fitness, indicating suitability for predicting causal relationships.
- Nurses' communication ability significantly influenced both self-leadership and self-efficacy.
- Communication ability positively affected nursing performance, with self-efficacy acting as a significant mediator.
Conclusions:
- Nurses' communication ability is a key predictor of nursing performance.
- Self-efficacy plays a crucial mediating role in the relationship between communication ability and nursing performance.

Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...
