Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the factors that influence nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide among clinical nurses.
Methods
The participants in this study were 200 clinical nurses working at hospitals in Korea. Data was collected from February 22, 2022 to March 18, 2022 through a structured online survey that included general characteristics, suicide literacy, attitudes towards suicide, social stigma toward suicidal people, and nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide. SPSS/WIN 25.0 program was used for data analysis, including a descriptive analysis, t-test, one way analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression.
Results
A higher level of suicide literacy (r=.36, p<.001) and attitudes towards suicide (r=.23, p<.001) were associated with higher nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide. The factors affecting nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide were suicide literacy (β=.38, p<.001) and attitudes towards suicide (β=.26, p<.001). This model showed a 18.0% explanation of nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide.
Conclusion
It is necessary to develop an effective educational program and to establish an organizational system to improve the quality of nursing performance for patients after attempted suicide.
