Poor nursing performance is considered a threat to patient safety, affecting the quality of care provided and ultimately impacting patient outcomes.
The main aim of this study was to identify the predictors of nursing performance.
A cross-sectional predictive design was used. A convenient sampling technique was used to recruit 251 emergency nurses in three health sectors. They were assessed using the secondary traumatic stress scale and the nursing performance scale. Data were collected between June and August 2022.
Nurses experienced severe levels of secondary traumatic stress ( = 57.9, = 14.94). The nursing performance level was below average ( = 27.48, = 9.36), and the mental performance subscale received the lowest rating ( = 5.82, = 2.69). There was a strong negative association between the secondary traumatic stress total score and the total score of nursing performance ( = -.77). Additionally, factors such as high body mass index, smoking, the presence of chronic diseases, working overtime, and high levels of secondary traumatic stress were identified as significant predictors of nursing performance.
It is recommended that emergency nurses be provided with treatment programs and interventions to reduce their secondary traumatic stress to improve their performance, thereby ensuring high-quality patient care.
护理表现不佳被认为是对患者安全的威胁，影响所提供护理的质量，并最终影响患者的治疗结果。
本研究的主要目的是确定护理表现的预测因素。
采用横断面预测设计。使用便利抽样技术在三个卫生部门招募了251名急诊护士。使用继发性创伤应激量表和护理表现量表对他们进行评估。数据收集于2022年6月至8月期间。
护士经历了严重程度的继发性创伤应激（均值=57.9，标准差=14.94）。护理表现水平低于平均水平（均值=27.48，标准差=9.36），心理表现子量表得分最低（均值=5.82，标准差=2.69）。继发性创伤应激总分与护理表现总分之间存在强烈的负相关（相关系数=-0.77）。此外，高体重指数、吸烟、患有慢性病、加班以及高水平的继发性创伤应激等因素被确定为护理表现的重要预测因素。
建议为急诊护士提供治疗方案和干预措施，以减轻他们的继发性创伤应激，提高他们的表现，从而确保高质量的患者护理。
