Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was performed to identify the effects of self-leadership and job involvement on clinical competence in general hospital nurses.
Methods: The participants in this study were 443 staff nurses working in general hospitals and having more than 6 months of nursing experience. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires.
Results: There were significant positive correlations between nurses¡¯ self-leadership and job involvement, and between nurses¡¯ self-leadership and clinical competence. In the multiple regression analysis, clinical career, type of department and self-leadership were significant predictors in explaining nurses¡¯ clinical competence and accounted for 28% of the variance in nurses¡¯ clinical competence.
Conclusion: Study findings suggest that nurses¡¯ self-leadership is defined as having an important influence on nurses¡¯ clinical competence. In order to strengthen nurses¡¯ clinical competence, there is a need to develop education programs to increase nurses¡¯ self-leadership.
