Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study examined the factors influencing posttraumatic and conflict management styles for nursing performance in intensive care units (ICUs).METHOD: In this study, 250 nurses from eight general hospitals in three cities participated. Structured self-report questionnaires were used to collect data on posttraumatic, conflict management styles, and nursing performance. Finally, the data were analyzed by SAS 9.3 program.RESULTS: The mean of total sum scores was 31.29, and the high risk of posttraumatic symptoms was 61.2%. It was noted that nursing performance is significantly correlated with collaboration, compromise, accommodation styles, and intrusion. Collaboration styles (β=0.39, p < .001) and hyperarousal (β=−0.22, p=.050), ICU experience below 1 year (β=−0.21, p=.027) and that of 5–10 years (β=−0.19, p=.049), and compromise style (β=0.16, p=.049) were found to be the factors influencing nursing performance with 35.9% explanatory power value of regression model.CONCLUSION: The results of the study reveal that conflict management styles, hyperarousal, and ICU experience are factors predicting the successful performance of ICUs. These findings emphasize the need of developing interventions to reduce stress symptoms and conflicts in ICUs.
