Purpose: This research aims to identify the relationship between the knowledge of delirium in elderly patients, nursing stress of delirium in elderly patients, emotional intelligence, and nursing performance of delirium in elderly patients among word nurses at a university hospital. Method: Data were collected from September 28 to October 13, 2020, by distributing questionnaires to 185 ward nurses at a university hospital located in city D. A data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, a t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression analysis. Results: Nursing performance of delirium in elderly patients showed statistically significant differences according to nursing experience with these patients. Nurses' knowledge of delirium in elderly patients had a statistically significant positive correlation with emotional intelligence and nursing performance of delirium in elderly patients. Also, nurses' emotional intelligence had a statistically positive correlation with nursing performance of delirium in elderly patients. The factors that significantly affected nursing performance delirium in elderly patients were emotional intelligence and knowledge of delirium in elderly patients. The total explanatory power of the regression model was 12.5%. Conclusion: For nursing performance of delirium in elderly patients by ward nurses, it is necessary to develop a geriatric delirium nursing education program that can improve the knowledge of delirium in elderly patients. In addition, guidelines in consideration of the emotional intelligence of nurses should be included in the development of educational programs.
