Abstract

Nursing performance is an aspect that demonstrates the fulfillment of a nurse's duties and responsibilities. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of nurse performance in Sandi Karsa Hospital Makassar City. This is a quantitative research using a cross-sectional study design. The sample consisted of 93 nurses collected through exhaustive sampling method. Data collection was performed using questionnaire instruments and analyzed using chi-squared and multiple linear regression tests. The results showed that there was a relationship between skills (p=0.024), compensation (p=0.005), workload (p<0.001), job design (p=0.020) and knowledge (p<0.001) with the performance of nurses in performing nursing care. Meanwhile, there was no relationship between attitude and performance of nurses (p=1.000). Workload had the most influence on nurses’ performance (B=2.729; SE=0.743; Exp(B)=15.322; p<0.001). This study concludes that some factors are associated with nurses' performance, with workload being the most determining factor.
