Abstract

Purpose: This study is descriptive research to examine the effects of the clinical nurse's character and nursing informatics competencies of nurses working at veterans hospitals on their nursing performance. Methods: Data were collected from 192 nurses with over one year of clinical experience working at three veterans' hospitals in B, D, and G Metropolitan from September 6 to September 30, 2021. The collected data were analyzed with the SPSS 25.0 program in descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. The Scheffé test was used as a post hoc test. Results: Nursing performance had a statistically significant positive correlation with the clinical nurse's character (r=.69, p<.001) and nursing informatics competency (r=.73, p<.001). The study results showed that nursing informatics competency (β=.49, p<.001) and the clinical nurse's character (β=.41, p<.001) significantly affected nursing performance. The total explanatory power of these variables was 62.4% (F=32.26, p<.001). Conclusion: The above results of this study show that the most significant factors in nursing performance are nursing information competency and the clinical nurse's character exhibit better nursing performance. Programs for improving nursing informatics competency and implementation methods need to be developed to improve nursing performance. It is also necessary to apply an effective clinical nurse's character program to enhance the level of the clinical nurse's character.
