Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current situations and influencing factors for comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) of knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) in geriatric ward nurses of a grade Ⅲ class A hospital, and to provide theoretical evidence for training and clinical practice of CGA mode. Methods 190 geriatric ward nurses from a grade Ⅲ class A hospital were selected in this study in February 2017 using convenience sampling. A self-designed geriatric ward nurses CGA questionnaire was used for the investigation. Results A total of 190 questionnaires were issued, and the valid response rate was 96.84% (184/190). The total KAP score was (74.68±7.53), with 6.0%, 90.7%, and 3.3% nurses had excellent, good, and failed scores, respectively. The univariate analyses suggested that nurses who were in the base ward had significantly higher KAP scores compared with nurses who were not (P< 0.05). Those who had received CGA education within one year had significantly higher KAP scores compared with those who had not (P<0.05). The Logistic regression analysis showed that whether in the base ward was associated with KAP in geriatric ward nurses (OR=2.212, P=0.028). Conclusions The knowledge of and cognitive attitude towards CGA are unsatisfactory in geriatric ward nurses, especially the CGA behaviors. The intensive training should be tailored for nurses according to their different characteristics. The quality assessment standard of CGA working mode should be established. Furthermore, the revisit center can be developed to improve the transfer of hospital-community-nursing home / home based on conjoined medical system. The standard CGA method which combined basic examination with detailed assessment is beneficial for elderly patients.
