Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the correlation among nurses` knowledge, their self-confidence about care for delirium and nursing performance for patients with delirium.
Methods: The study subjects are the 203 nurses working at general hospitals. The data were collected using the instruments for knowledge of delirium (47 items), performance (23 items), and self-confidence (15 items). The used statistical analysis were t-test, ANOVA, Pearson`s coefficient and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Nursing performance level for patients with delirium was 2.85±0.47, knowledge of delir ium nursing 32.15±4.36, and self-confidence in delirium nursing 52.00±17.05. The difference in performance were associated with number of caring experience with delirious patients (during for 1 year) (F=3.22, p=0.024), perceived importance (Caring delirious patient is an important nursing interven tion) (F=5.85, p=0.003), necessity of education for delirium (F=5.58, p=0.004), and necessity of manuals for delirium care (t=2.11, p=0.036). The nurs ing performance for patients with delirium had positive relationship with knowledge of delirium (r=0.30, p=0.000) and self-confidence (r=0.35, p=0.000). Factors related to the nursing performance for patients with delirium were `self-confidence in nursing performance for patients with delirium` (β=0.24, p=0.001), `knowledge of delirium` (β=0.16, p=0.002), and `necessity of manuals for delirium care` (β=0.16, p=0.014). These variables explained 18.5% of the variance in nursing performance for patients with delirium.
Conclusions: It is necessary to develop systematic educational pro gram and manual for improving the knowledge, self-confidence and performance for patients with delirium among nurses working at general hospitals.
