Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to ascertain current status of nurses' perception, nursing performance, job stress, and burnout in relation to the Joint Commission International (JCI) hospital accreditation and to verify the relationships among these variables.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was performed using questionnaires. Data were collected from 220 nurses who worked at one hospital from April 5 to May 4, 2013.
RESULTS
The scores for perception, nursing performance, job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation were(on a five-point Likert scale) 3.23, 4.01, 3.56 and 3.40 respectively. A positive correlation was observed between perception and nursing performance. Burnout was negatively correlated with perception and nursing performance, and positively correlated with job stress.
CONCLUSION
These results indicate that developing positive perception and reduced burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation can produce good nursing performance. These findings can be utilized to develop strategies for reducing job stress and burnout in relation to the JCI hospital accreditation.
