The aim of this study was to clarify the attitudes of nurses working in medical\nfacilities towards family nursing and the related factors. A quantitative\ncross-sectional design was used. The study period was from December 2017\nto February 2018. 638 nurses with more than 5 years clinical experience were\nrecruited from seven medical facilities. The questionnaire included the Familiesâ??\nImportance in Nursing Care-Nursesâ?? Attitudes (FINC-NA), the Family\nSense of Coherence (FSOC), and items on nursing practice ability, job satisfaction,\nand background characteristics. A multiple regression analysis with\nFINC-NA as the dependent variable and a path analysis of nursing practice\nability as the dependent variable were performed. Responses from 416 nurses\n(effective response rate, 65.2%) were analyzed. Variables that were significantly\nrelated to FINC-NA (p < 0.05) were nursing practice ability, FSOC, job\nsatisfaction, family nursing learning experience, presence of a partner and\nexperience in family nursing. Multiple regression analysis with FINC-NA as\nthe dependent variable revealed significant regression coefficients for nursing\npractice ability, FSOC and job satisfaction. Moreover, path analysis with\nnursing practice ability as the dependent variable showed job satisfaction,\nFSOC, managerial experience, family nursing learning experience were significant.\nIn addition, it was revealed that the direct effect of FSOC on\nFINC-NA to mediate nursing practice ability was higher than the indirect effect,\nbut the direct effect of job satisfaction on FINC-NA was lower than the\nindirect effect. It was suggested that it is important that nurses recognize their\nown thoughts, behaviors and ways of coping with stress within their family,\nand establish a good work environment and strive to enhance their nursing\npractice ability.
