Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to clarify the relevance between the management awareness of the chief nurse and the management status, a structural equation modeling was conducted based on responses to the quantitative survey on 988 chief nurses. As a result, the management awareness had an impact on the management status as expressed by the path coefficient of 0.77 and the determination coefficient of 0.60. The 6 factors of nursing had an impact on the management awareness as expressed by the path coefficient of 0.95 and the determination coefficient of 0.91. The impact factors “utilizing the analysis” and “elements related to complementing one’s ability” had the greatest effect; thus, reinforcement of these factors are required.It is vital to recognize that management awareness can be heightened by the 6 factors related to nursing, and that it is necessary to establish a nursing system which contributes to the management based on the strength of nursing.
