Voeg label toe | Samenvatting: | This qualitative descriptive study was done to explore nurse's perceptions towards
performance appraisal at Bwaila District Hospital. A sample of ten participants was recruited using purposive sampling.
Data was analyzed manually using content analysis. Ethical consideration was observed to ensure that participant's rights are not violated. Findings indicated that, lack of motivation by managers, fear by participants, lack of training by some of the appraisers, bias by some appraisers, inadequate time, during PA, ineffective preparation were some of the major factors which contributed to low participation of nurses in PA.
Therefore, it is recommended that Lilongwe District Health Office should consider putting in place some motivating factors for its nurses. Nurse Managers should make it clear that PA is not fault finding but it is one way of promoting provision of quality care to the patients and clients through improving on shortfalls and continuing where we are already doing well. Lilongwe District Health Office should also put into consideration that all appraisers should go through at least an orientation of the appraisal process to improve the quality of PA. |
