Abstract:
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the predicting factors of nursing work performance.
Methods:The participants in this study were 148 nurses working in S university hospital in P city. The scales included social support, health promoting lifestyle profile-Ⅱ (HPLP-Ⅱ), and nursing work performance. A descriptive analysis and stepwise multiple regression were used for data analysis.
Results:Significant correlations were found among social support, health promotion behaviors and nursing work performance. The significant predictive factors of nursing work performance were the emotional support subscale of social support (β=.31, p<.001) and the interpersonal relations subscale of health promotion behaviors (β=.32, p<.001). These two subscales explained 27% of nursing work performance.
