Abstract
Objective: To investigate the current status of nurses' job performance, to analyze the latent profile analysis of nurses' job performance and their relationship with occupational coping self-efficacy, perceived social support and to explore the factors influencing the different profiles.
Methods: From April to June 2024, 390 nurses from five general hospitals were facilitated to be selected as survey respondents using a general information questionnaire, job performance scale, occupational coping self-efficacy scale, and perceived social support scale. Latent profile analysis of nurses' job performance were analyzed, and logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing different categories of nurses' job performance.
Results: 390 nurses were finally included. Nurses job performance score was (45.05 ± 6.55). Nurses' job performance could be categorized into three latent profile analysis: low job performance (13.9%), medium job performance (52.8%) and high job performance (33.3%). Logistic regression analysis showed that years of working experience, form of employment, perceived social support and occupational coping self-efficacy were the influencing factors of nurses' job performance (all p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Nurses' job performance is moderate to high and heterogeneous. Nursing managers should focus on "low job performance" and "medium job performance" nurses, and intervene and support nurses according to the characteristics and influencing factors of the different categories in order to improve their performance.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
