ABSTRACT
Background@#Since nursing performance is related to the organizational performance of hospitals, this study was attempted to determine the effects of general characteristics, clinical nursing character, and self-efficacy of nurses working in hospitals on nursing performance. @*Methods@#The subjects were 150 nurses working in 3 general hospitals. Data collected through self-report questionnaires from January 4 to 18, 2021, were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0, and hierarchical regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting nursing performance. @*Results@#In the final model, the experience of the nurse’s current unit, clinical nursing character, and self-efficacy were found to be influencing factors on nursing performance. The explanatory power of the whole model was 53.6%. @*Conclusion@#Hospital administrators should carefully consider changing departments so that nurses can gain sufficient experience in the unit. In addition, it is necessary to develop and apply a program to strengthen clinical nursing character and enhance self-efficacy.
