Factors related to nurses’ perceptions of head nurse delegation were age (p = 0.045), education level (p = 0.002), management function (p = 0.020), planning function (p = 0.043), workforce function (p = 0.002), control function (p = 0.019), leadership style (p = 0.02) and communication (p = 0.030). Education level emerged as the most dominant variable. This result was to provide a reference for developing standard operating procedures regarding nursing delegation based on related factors.
