Purpose
The study aimed to identify the factors impacting nurse unit managers’ knowledge and ability importance of managerial competencies. Methods The participants were 200 nurse unit managers who worked at general hospitals or tertiary care hospitals. Data were collected from February 1 to June 30, 2021, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, paired t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with IBM SPSS/WIN 26.0. Results Nurse unit managers perceived the ability of managerial competencies to be less important than knowledge thereof. Overall, nurse unit managers perceived the importance of human and technical competencies as the most important, while the importance of financial managerial competency as the lowest. The significant predictors of knowledge and ability importance of managerial competencies were ‘nursing environment’ and ‘research experience’, and the input variables explained 34% of knowledge importance and 25% of ability importance. Conclusion Nurse administrators should continue to pay attention to the nursing environment, provide nursing unit managers with opportunities to conduct various research and provide related education.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of e-health literacy in patients with chronic diseases on their healthcare provider-patient communication. Methods The participants were 184 patients with chronic illnesses admitted to a general hospital. Using a structured-questionnaire, data were collected from December 1 to 31, 2018. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS/WIN 22.0. Results Healthcare provider-patient communication was positively correlated with e-health literacy (r=.87, p <.001). Factors influencing healthcare provider-patient communication were e-health literacy (β=.87, p <.001), subjective health statues (β=.17, p =.011), health concerns (β=-.15, p <.001), number of questions during the hospital treatment (β=.14, p=.003), and education (β=-.14, p =.048). The input variables explained 70.8% of healthcare provider-patient communication. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that healthcare providers should provide reliable online health information to patients and encourage health-oriented attitudes in order to communicate about health information that patients obtained from online.
