1Dongsan Medical Center and College of Nursing, Keimyung University, Daegu, South Korea.
Background:
Nurses are the main staff members tasked with addressing patients' needs and are required to constantly improve their nursing performance. Therefore, it is necessary to identify new factors that affect nursing performance among tertiary hospital nurses.
Aims:
This study investigated how work-life balance and nursing reflection affect nursing performance among tertiary hospital nurses.
Methods:
This study employed an analytical cross-sectional survey design. It recruited a convenience sample of 176 nurses from four tertiary hospitals in Dauge City, South Korea. Data were collected using structured self-report questionnaires and analysed using stepwise multiple regression.
Results:
The nursing performance score was 3.73 of 5. Significant predictors of nursing performance were the review and analysis of nursing behaviour, development-oriented deliberative engagement, objective self-awareness, total working period and work-growth balance. The explanatory power of these factors on nursing performance was 49.1%.
Conclusions:
Study findings indicated that review and analysis of nursing behaviour, development-oriented deliberative engagement, objective self-awareness, total working period and the work-growth balance of nurses improved nursing performance. This is significant for future improvement of nursing performance among nurses in tertiary hospitals.
