To evaluate professional self-concept, Nurses` Self-Concept Instrument (NSCI) developed by Angel et al. were used. And, The data were collected from December 29, 2015 to January 30, 2016, and analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA, multiple regression conducted using SPSS 18.0. Scheffe test was utilized for post hoc tests.
Results: The average score of professional self-concept was 6.02±0.84 out of 8 points, that of self-leadership was 3.69±0.44 out of 5 points, and that of geriatric nursing performance was 3.79±0.52 out of 5 points. Four subcategories of professional self-concept showed significant positive correlations with nine subcategories of geriatric nursing performance, with correlations ranging between 0.18 and 0.57. `Knowledge` subcategory of professional self-concept was the factor that would affect geriatric sleep quality care nursing most significantly (t=2.83, p=0.005), and that it additionally explained 30% of sleep quality care nursing per formance after controlling for general characteristics. As for communication in nursing, `staff relation` of professional self-concept (t=2.21, p=0.029) and `rehearsal` subcategory of self-leadership (t=2.24, p=0.027) were significant factor, and 26% explaining change of communication in nursing.
Conclu sions: Influencing factors of geriatric nursing performance were participants` socio-demographic characteristics such as monthly income and number of beds, and the subcategories of professional self-concept and self-leadership.
