Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected via an online survey of 162 nurses from five national specialized hospitals from January 10 to February 10, 2025, and qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 20 participants from March 7 to April 16, 2025. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, analysis of variance, importance--performance analysis, the Borich Needs Assessment, the Locus for Focus model, and multiple regression analysis. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis with ATLAS.ti. Results: The mean performance score for nursing management competencies was 3.56±0.71 on a 5-point scale. Customer orientation received the highest score (4.03±0.78), whereas business and marketing received the lowest score (2.92±1.03). Across needs-assessment models, leadership, nursing ethics and law, quality improvement, and standard development consistently emerged as high-priority areas. In multiple regression analysis, the nursing work environment was the only factor significantly associated with nursing management competency performance (β=.33, p<.001). Qualitative content analysis corroborated these findings and identified three facilitator themes and three barrier themes. Conclusion: Nursing management competency performance among nurses in national specialized hospitals was associated with the nursing work environment, including organizational conditions. These findings underscore the importance of organizational support and suggest that competency-based education should be redesigned to prioritize high-need competency areas. This study provides a foundation for developing educational interventions and programs to enhance nursing management capacity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Korean refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
