Materials and Methods: The study is a cross-sectional survey. A purposeful sample was recruited from one medical center and two regional hospitals in Southern Taiwan. The subjects include all nurses participating in the clinical ladder in tested hospitals. New nurses with N0 and nursing administrator where excluded. A set of structured questionnaires which include demographics and working characteristics, perceived nursing competence, perception of nursing working environment, job satisfaction, and job retention, was used for data collection. A total of 1760 questionnaires were sent out, and 1608 effective questionnaires were used for analysis. All data were analyzed with computer software SPSS 10.0. Results: The means and standard deviation of perceived nursing competence, nursing administration support, perception of nursing working environment, job satisfaction, and job retention were 156.18 ± 22.29, 30.51±5.13, 130.68±18.56, 22.08±3.74, and 6.92±2.18, respectively. Perceived nursing competence, nursing administration support, and perception of nursing working environment showed significant differences among the nurses at different levels of clinical ladder. Post-hoc analysis indicated nurses at the higher level of nursing clinical ladder, the higher degree of perceived nursing competence, nursing administration support, and perception of nursing working environment. Nursing administration support, perception of nursing working environment, job satisfaction, and job retention were positively correlated with perceived nursing competence. Perception of nursing working environment, working years, level of clinical ladder, education, nursing administration support, and job satisfaction were predictors of perceived nursing competence, and they accounted 32.1% of its variance. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that there are positive correlations between perceived nursing competence and perception of nursing working environment, nursing administration support, job satisfaction, and job retention. By improving nursing working environment, clinical ladder, job satisfaction and job retention, it will encourage nurses to pursuit nursing competence. The results might provide references administrators to improve clinical ladder and making policy. |
