Communication Skills, Problem-Solving Ability, Understanding of Patients’ Conditions, and Nurse’s Perception of Professionalism among Clinical Nurses: A Structural Equation Model Analysis

Abstract

<jats:p>This study was intended to confirm the structural relationship between clinical nurse communication skills, problem-solving ability, understanding of patients’ conditions, and nurse’s perception of professionalism. Due to changes in the healthcare environment, it is becoming difficult to meet the needs of patients, and it is becoming very important to improve the ability to perform professional nursing jobs to meet expectations. In this study method, structural model analysis was applied to identify factors influencing the perception of professionalism in nurses. The subjects of this study were 171 nurses working at general hospitals in city of Se, Ga, and Geu. Data analysis included frequency analysis, identification factor analysis, reliability analysis, measurement model analysis, model fit, and intervention effects. In the results of the study, nurse’s perception of professionalism was influenced by factors of communication skills and understanding of the patient’s condition, but not by their ability to solve problems. Understanding of patient’s condition had a mediating effect on communication skills and nursing awareness. Communication skills and understanding of the patient’s condition greatly influenced the nurse’s perception of professionalism. To improve the professionalism of clinical nurses, nursing managers need to emphasize communication skills and understanding of the patient’s condition. The purpose of this study was to provide a rationale for developing a program to improve job skills by strengthening the awareness of professional positions of clinical nurses to develop nursing quality of community.</jats:p>

Operating Room Nurses Want Differentiated Education for Perioperative Competencies—Based on the Clinical Ladder

“…The educational needs of proficiency and collaboration were also high in this study. One explanation is that proficiency and collaboration are required to cope with crisis appropriately, reduce medical error, and ensure patient safety [ 4 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Furthermore, the high educational needs for leadership, professional development, collaboration, and empathy in this study suggest the necessity of education for technical and non-technical competencies in OR competency.…”

Investigating Sequence Patterns of Collaborative Problem-Solving Behavior in Online Collaborative Discussion Activity

“…Level 5 (9-10) Fully covers the target knowledge; finds the solution to the task Level 4 (7-8) Covers the majority of the target knowledge; finds the task solution, but some details are inaccurate Level 3 (5)(6) Covers some of the target knowledge; presents the task solution with noticeable errors Level 2 (3)(4) Covers only a limited range of the target knowledge; fails to find the task solution Level 1 (1)(2) Fails to address the task; answer is completely unrelated to the task…”

“…Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been listed as one of the core competencies in the 21st century [1]. The digital era has witnessed the crucial influence of online CPS on individuals' working performance and well-being [2,3], especially during the post-pandemic recovery. From the perspective of learning science, it has been also demonstrated that CPS can lead to deeper understanding of the topic in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) settings [4].…”
