Purpose: This research explored the professional commitment of psychiatric nurses and related factors of influence in a public psychiatric teaching hospital, Methods: Researchers used a cross-sectioral, correlational design and developed a professional commitment scale, which was administered to 190 nurses working at a regional public psychiatric teaching hospital in southern Taiwan. A total of 181 completed questionnaires were returned. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results: (1) Background variables including age, marital status, education level, number of children, family support for working as a psychiatric nurse, seniority as a clinical nurse, seniority in current position, current professional ladder level. current position and monthly salary were all identified as significantly influencing participants' professional commitment; (2) Seven background variables showed significant predictive value in terms of professional commitment. These included age, family support for working as a psychiatric nurse, seniority as a clinical nurse, seniority in current position, current professional ladder level, monthly salary and current position. These 7 items explained 42% of total variance for professional commitment. Conclusions / Implications for practice: study results suggested the following: (1) promoting the ladder system is important to advancing psychiatric health professional abilities; (2) significant attention should be focused on training, guiding and managing new nurses and contract nurses; (3) administrators should promote positive peer relationships and extend professional commitment support networks; (4) psychiatric professional proficiency training should be intensified for psychiatric nurses and their accomplishments should be promoted.
