مستخلص: | Background: Acknowledging the professionalism, dedication and loyalty of psychiatric mental health nurses can reduce manpower loss from this sector and may provide an indicator of the professional commitment of nurses to their jobs. 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.
