Background and Aims: Missed nursing care can lead to serious complications and dissatisfaction among patients and nurses, especially in critical wards. Given the research gap in examining how personality traits and professional attitudes contribute to missed nursing care, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between missed nursing care and personality traits and attitudes toward the nursing profession among nurses.
Materials and Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study. In this study, the research population comprised all nurses working at Shahid Madani Hospital in Tabriz, using a convenience sampling approach. A total of 230 nurses participated in the study. The study instruments included the Kalisch Missed Nursing Care Questionnaire, Bass Personality Recognition and Interpretation Scale, and the Attitude Scale for Nursing Profession.
Results: Approximately 215 individuals completed the questionnaires without errors. The mean age of the nurses was 33.84 ± 8.20 years, and most (69.3%) were male. The mean scores for missed nursing care, personality traits, and attitude towards the nursing profession were 35.83 ± 9.70, 87.37 ± 11.49, and 149.20 ± 15.45, respectively. The adjusted regression analysis showed that the variables “attitude towards the nursing profession” (B=-0.246, β=-0.391, P<0.001) and “being female” (B=-8.316, β=-0.396, P<0.001) accounted for 42.1% of the variance in forgotten nursing care among nurses.
Conclusion: The findings showed that positive attitudes toward the nursing profession and female gender were important predictors of missed care. This highlights the need for healthcare center managers to focus on planning for strengthening nurses' professional attitudes through motivational and supportive courses.
