The specific ward represented the strata for example the medical or surgical ward was the strata from which sampling was done (n = 50) Analysis. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistics, Independent samples? T-test and One-way analysis of variance. Main outcome measures. Factors influencing nursing process Results. majority of the respondents 31 (62.6%) agreed that staff shortage was a factor influencing nursing process. Majority of the respondents 29 (58.6%) disagreed that lack of cooperation was a factor influencing implementation of nursing process. Of the 50 respondents, 35 (70.7%) of the respondents agreed that lack of adequate equipment was a major hindrance to nursing process. 31 (61.6%) of the respondents agreed that inadequate knowledge was a barrier. The ANOVA model showed significant differences amongst the different age groups F (3,50) = 9.403, p <0.05. The partial eta squared showed that only 7% of the variability in the factors influencing nursing process could be attributed to the age?2 = 0. 07. No significant differences amongst the different nurse classification F (2,50) = 0.012, p = 0.988. And significant differences amongst the different work experience categories F (4,50) = 8.038, p <0.05. Conclusion. The study established that nurses are working in stressful moments due to lack of enough nursing staffs: adequate staffing to be done. Registered nurses working in VCRH require training on implementation of nursing process.
