Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the levels of nurses¡¯ compassion competence and terminal care and the factors associated with their performance of terminal care in geriatric hospitals.
Methods: This study design was a cross-sectional survey. The participants in the study were 186 nurses working at 7 geriatric hospitals. Data were collected, using structured questionnaires, from 10th to 21st of September, 2018. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis with SPSS/WIN 24.0.
Results: There was a significant positive correlation between terminal care performance and compassion competence (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the significant factors affecting the performance of terminal care were age, 3-shifts, and religion in model 1 and these factors explained 17% of variance. In model 2, communication and insight among subtypes of compassion competence were significant predictors and explained 49% of the variance in terminal care performance by nurses.
Conclusions: The findings from this study suggest that nurses¡¯ compassion competence is the most important factor for improving terminal care performance which needs to be enhanced by education program.
