Abstract

Nurses’ care nurse–patient interaction (CNPI) competence is critical for improving nursing care quality. The focus is the psychological quality of nurses, which may be derived from their sense of well-being. The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model of nurses’ well-being and their CNPI competence. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a total of 212 valid questionnaires obtained from a medical center. Structural equation modeling analysis was performed to validate the conceptual model. The results demonstrated the positive correlation between two constructs of nurses’ well-being (“contentment” and “joyfulness”) and CNPI competence. A positive correlation between nurses’ CNPI competence and their health-promoting lifestyle and work environment satisfaction was supported. Among the constructs of CNPI competence, “respect patients’ life experience” was the most correlated with their well-being, health-promoting lifestyle, and work environment satisfaction. The constructs of these three scales, which showed a middle correlation with CNPI competence, are psychological constructs rather than material constructs. When nurses have a greater sense of well-being, a positive attitude towards life, and feel supported and respected in their work environment, their CNPI competence increases. The findings of this study provide important insights and can serve as empirical evidence for nursing managers to enhance nurses’ CNPI competence.
