Abstract
AbstractAimTo determine the effect of nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of nursing services management on their professional commitment.BackgroundEffective healthcare management is crucial for improving patient care quality. Understanding nurses' perspectives on nursing services management and their commitment provides valuable insights for management strategies, improving well‐being and healthcare outcomes.MethodsThis descriptive, cross‐sectional, and correlational study involved 265 state hospital nurses. Data were collected between November 2020 and June 2021 using descriptive characteristic form, Nursing Services Management Effectiveness Scale, and Nursing Professional Commitment Scale. This study adhered to the STROBE checklist.ResultsNurses' views on the effectiveness of nursing services management and their professional commitment were found to be influenced by age, professional experience, and institutional positions. The average scores for nursing services management perception and professional commitment were 2.65 ± 0.72 and 66.63 ± 12.40, respectively. A statistically significant positive and low‐level correlation was observed between nurses' nursing services management perception and professional commitment scores. Nurses' positive perception of nursing services management explains 17.1% of the variance in nurses' professional commitment levels.Discussion and conclusionThis study outlines how nurses' views on effective nursing services management can enhance their professional commitment. Managers should contribute to increase nursing services management efficacy by eliminating deficiencies in management practices to make their institutions successful and to increase their employees’ professional commitment level.Implications for nursing and health policyAssuming positive perceptions of nursing management increase nurses' professional commitment, developing policies to boost organizational support is vital. Managers should focus on improving nursing services management to increase organizational success, increase nurses' professional commitment, and achieve the best health outcomes by eliminating management deficiencies.
