Abstract:
Purpose:This study aimed to compare and identify factors affecting delirium nursing stress among nurses in comprehensive nursing care service wards and general wards.
Methods:Using structured questionnaires, data were collected from 230 nurses working in two tertiary university hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 27.0.
Results:The average delirium nursing stress score for nurses in comprehensive nursing care service wards was 2.98±0.30 out of 4 points, which was significantly higher than 2.89±0.29 points for nurses in general wards (t=2.17, p=.031).Factors influencing delirium nursing stress among comprehensive nursing care service ward nurses included nursing work environment (β=-.58, p<.001) and conflicts with medical staff and other departments related to delirium patients (β=.24, p=.006), explaining power of 44% (F=12.13, p<.001). For general ward nurses, the nursing work environment(β=-.39, p<.001) was the main influencing factor, explaining power of 17% (F=3.93, p<.001).
Conclusion:Both types of nurses require improvements in their work environment. Strategies to reduce conflict between medical staff and other departments are essential in comprehensive nursing care service wards.
