Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the job performance, importance, and difficulty in Surgical Clinical Practice Nurses (SCPNs), and to identify the priority of job tasks using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Methods: One hundred SCPNs were recruited from two university hospitals and two general hospitals during November 2021 to April 2022. A total of 97 data were analyzed excluding 3 data due to missing responses. The data were analyzed by two groups, with Ward-Based SCPNs (W-SCPNs) and Operation Room-Based SCPNs (OR-SCPNs) according to different characteristics of job tasks. Results: There were differences of job performance between W-SCPNs and OR-SCPNs. As a result of the IPA, tasks of 'working practices in the ward' for W-SCPNs and those of 'surgery and treatments' for OR-SCPNs were included in the first quadrant (keep up the good work). 'Resarch' and 'leardership' were included in the third quadrant (low priority). Conclusion: Since there are differences in job tasks between W-SCPNs and OR-SCPNs, health care institutions should consider the differences in defining the scope of job performance. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop customized continuing education program based on our findings of IPA.
