Abstract

Purpose
: This study aimed to identify factors affecting nursing performance related to physical restraint use among trauma intensive care unit nurses.
Methods
: Data were collected from 116 trauma intensive care unit nurses working at two tertiary hospitals in Gyeonggi Province and Cheongju between September and October 2024.
Results
: The mean nursing performance score related to physical restraint use was 2.61 (±0.22) out of 3. Attitudes toward physical restraints (β=.40, p<.001) and prior education on physical restraints (β=.38, p< .001) were significant factors influencing nursing performance. The model explained 41% of the variance in nursing performance (F=15.02, p<.001).
Conclusion
: Attitudes toward physical restraints and prior education on physical restraints were significant predictors of nursing performance among trauma intensive care unit nurses. Continuous educational programs aimed at fostering positive attitudes toward physical restraint use may help improve nursing performance.
