Abstract
Background and purpose: Time management is a fundamental skill in healthcare professions, particularly in nursing, playing a crucial role in enhancing productivity, alleviating stress, and elevating the quality of patient care. This competency is exceptionally vital in emergency departments (EDs) due to high workloads, severe time constraints, and the necessity for rapid decision-making. This study aimed to evaluate the time management competency of nurses working in the EDs of teaching hospitals affiliated with Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, in 2025.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 223 nurses employed in EDs across the targeted teaching hospitals. Data were collected using the Time Management Competency Questionnaire for Clinical Nurses (Talebi et al.), which comprises 29 items across six dimensions. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software (version 27). Independent t-tests and one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were utilized for normally distributed variables, while Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was employed to examine the relationships between the competency components.
Results: The findings indicated that the nurses’ overall time management competency was at a moderately low level. Specifically, 12.6% of the nurses demonstrated relatively optimal competency, 64.1% exhibited weak competency, and 23.3% showed poor competency. The highest mean score was recorded in the dimension of 'adjusting responsibilities and norms' (18.39 ± 15.67), whereas the lowest was observed in 'emotional management' (20.58 ± 12.31). While significant positive correlations were found among most time management dimensions, the correlation between 'adjusting responsibilities and norms' and 'emotional management' was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The time management competency of emergency nurses is currently suboptimal, a situation likely exacerbated by systemic issues such as staffing shortages and high patient turnover. Given the interconnected nature of time management components, implementing comprehensive educational programs and targeted managerial interventions is imperative to cultivate this skill. Such measures are essential for enhancing the quality of emergency care and mitigating occupational burnout among nurses.
