Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Family Nursing Practice (FNP) is a framework for thinking about and working with families. Despite the recognized importance of family-centered care, few studies have investigated its predictors among Iranian nurses. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the role of professional commitment and resilience in predicting family nursing practice in Iranian nurses. METHODS: This cross-sectional correlation study was conducted on 304 nurses in Qazvin, Iran, in 2024–2025. People were included in the study by a simple random method. Having a bachelor’s degree in nursing, working in clinical units, having a direct role in patient care, and at least 6 months of work experience were the criteria for entering the study. Data were collected using the Conor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Lachman Professional Commitment Questionnaire, and the Family Nursing Practice Scale. Data analysis performed using SPSS v22 software. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 31.98 ± 8 years. The mean scores of professional commitment, resilience, and family nursing practice were 89.56 ± 10.47, 24.66 ± 4.34, and 57.48 ± 10.43, respectively. The results of univariate regression showed that both resilience variables (β = 0.66, P < 0.001) and professional commitment (β = 0.32, P < 0.001) were significantly related to family nursing practice. However, in the multivariate regression model and after adjusting for confounding variables, only the relationship between professional commitment and family nursing practice remained significant (β = 0.24, P < 0.001), and the relationship between resilience and family nursing practice was not significant (β = 0.30, P = 0.065). CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that professional commitment is a strong and independent predictor of family nursing practice. Managers and policymakers are expected to take steps to improve family nursing practice by designing educational programs and implementing targeted interventions that promote professional commitment.
