Abstract: (111 Views)
Background & Aims: The quality of nursing care is affected by various factors, and functional barriers are among the most important factors that can increase nurses' workload. This study aimed to investigate the predictive power of functional barriers on the quality of nursing care in nurses in the intensive care unit of teaching hospitals affiliated with Urmia University of Medical Sciences.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2024 on 220 nurses working in the intensive care units of teaching hospitals in Urmia. The samples were selected using a stratified and convenience sampling method. The data collection tools included demographic questionnaires, the GRACEZ functional barriers scale, and the QUALPAC nursing care quality scale. Data analysis was performed with SPSS version 19 software using descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results: The results showed a significant inverse relationship between functional barriers (except for environmental and organizational dimensions) and the quality of nursing care (p < 0.05). The univariate linear regression model indicated that a one-unit decrease in the functional barriers score was associated with an average increase of 2.60 units in the nursing care quality score.
Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that functional barriers have a negative and predictive impact on the quality of nursing care. Therefore, developing and implementing effective interventions to reduce these barriers can play a crucial role in improving the quality of nursing care.
