Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of a self-regulation program combined with positive reinforcement on PDCA-based work participation behaviors among hospital quality assurance nurses. The sample consisted of professional nurses working in a military hospital, selected through stratified random sampling and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 32) or a control group (n = 32). The self-regulation program with positive reinforcement comprised three main stages and five activities conducted over eight weeks. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and paired t-tests.
The results showed that the experimental group, after participating in the program, had significantly higher PDCA-based work participation scores compared to the control group (t = 5.73, p < 0.05), with an average score of 5.03 (SD = 0.78) compared to 4.77 (SD = 0.23) for the control group. Additionally, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher post-program participation scores compared to their pre-program scores (t = 6.39, p < 0.05), with post-program scores averaging 5.03 (SD = 0.07) compared to 4.78 (SD = 0.26) pre-program.
These findings suggest that this program is a viable tool for hospital administrators to implement in enhancing the work behaviors of staff within their organizations.
