| Abstract
|
:
|
New nurses are subjected to high levels of stress and are the most susceptible among the healthcare professions to rapid turnover. This potential for attrition, coupled with a worldwide nursing shortage, implores us to identify factors that promote resiliency to stress and high levels of work engagement and clinical performance. Nowhere is this investigation more needed that in Saudi Arabia, where a longstanding and persistent nursing shortage has compelled the government to recruit 62 percent of its nursing workforce from outside the country, and where research of this kind is in its infancy. The purpose of this predictive correlational study was to assess (a) the impact of academic performance, emotional intelligence, clinical learning environment, and work relationships climate on work engagement and clinical performance, and (b) the mediating effect of work relationships climate on academic performance, emotional intelligence, clinical learning environment, work engagement, and clinical performance among first-year nursing interns in Saudi Arabia. A total of 93 nursing students in their internship year at a major tertiary hospital were recruited from a large public university in Saudi Arabia. Seven instruments were used in the study. Participants completed surveys online. Preceptors completed two surveys rating their interns on emotional intelligence and clinical performance, thereby providing a 360-degree assessment. Socio-demographic statistics were analyzed. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between the predictor variables, the mediating variable, and the dependent outcome variables. The results indicate that emotional intelligence is a significant predictor of both work engagement and clinical performance, while clinical learning environment and quality of work relationships climate are significant predictors of work engagement alone. The identification of emotional intelligence as a strong predictor of work engagement and clinical performance offers support for incorporating EI concepts into the nursing curricula and in professional development programs, enhancing the quality of work relationships, and creating a positive clinical learning environment.
