This cross-sectional study attempted to identify factors affecting nursing performance of delirium among general hospital clinical nurses.
Study participants were 158 registered nurses in general hospitals. Data were collected from May 9 to May 11 2018, using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0.
Nursing performance of delirium had significant positive correlations with self-confidence in caring for patients with delirium (r=.51, p<.001), ethical awareness (r=.18, p=.023), and the importance of delirium nursing (r=.49, p<.001). In this study, factors influencing nursing performance of delirium were self-confidence in caring for patients with delirium and the importance of delirium nursing with R2 value 43%.
This study's results can be used as basic data to develop educational programs and to improve work environments in developing strategies to enhance nursing performance for patients with delirium.
