The Influence of Nurses' Resilience on Nursing Management Competencies: Mediation Effect of Competency in Evidence-Based Practice

The purpose of this study was to explore ways to enhance nurses' nursing management capabilities by identifying the mediating effect of evidence-based practice competence on the impact of nurses' adaptive flexibility on nursing management capabilities. The data collection period was from 4th November 2024 to 6th December 2024. The data collection method involved a survey conducted with the consent of nurses working at a general hospital in G metropolitan city. A total of 177 responses were collected, and empirical analysis was conducted using multiple regression analysis and mediation effect analysis, which are techniques for causal relationship analysis. The hypothesis verification results indicated that nurses' adaptive flexibility had a greater impact on administrative competence than on practical competence; however, when evidence-based practice competence acted as a mediating variable, it was found that coping adaptive flexibility positively influenced both administrative and practical competence. Therefore, it is suggested that when developing programs to strengthen nurses' nursing management capabilities, content that can simultaneously enhance adaptive flexibility and evidence-based practice competence should be provided.
