Of 1,628 returned questionnaires, 1,608 questionnaires were completed (92.5%). Data were analyzed with SPSS13.0.
Research results indicated moderate self-assessment of nursing competency (3.80±0.54). Significant differences in self-assessed nursing competency were observed among nurses on different clinical ladders and between the two levels of hospitals.
