| Summary: | <i>Background and Objective</i>: The unprecedented spread of infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in psychiatric units has affected the self-efficacy, burnout, and job performances of psychiatric nurses. We conducted a survey to investigate the moderating effect of burnout on the relationship between the self-efficacy and job performances of psychiatric nurses. <i>Materials and Methods</i>: Validated and structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 186 nurses in psychiatric units for COVID-19. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and a series of multiple linear regression analyses based on Baron and Kenny’s method using the SPSS 26.0 program. <i>Results</i>: Job performance was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r = 0.75, <i>p</i> < 0.001) but had no significant correlation with burnout (r = −0.11, <i>p</i> = 0.150). Self-efficacy was negatively correlated with burnout (r = −0.22, <i>p</i> = 0.002). Burnout among psychiatric nurses had significant moderating effects on self-efficacy and job performance (β = −0.11, <i>p</i> = 0.024). <i>Conclusions</i>: These findings indicate a need to prevent burnout and to enhance self-efficacy in psychiatric nurses to increase their job performances and serve as a basis for establishing strategies to deploy medical staff in the future. |
