Abstract:
Objective To investigate the core competence, self-efficacy and correlation of geriatric clinical front-line nurses in Nantong medical institutions, and to analyze the influencing factors of the two, so as to provide reference for the formulation of training programs for geriatric clinical front-line nurses. Methods Using convenience sampling method, the geriatric clinical front-line nurses in Nantong medical institutions were investigated by Geriatric Nursing Competency Inventory (GNCI) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) from October to December 2017. Single factor analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the correlation between core competence and self-efficacy of geriatric clinical nurses and the influencing factors. Results The score of GNCI was (2.51±0.64), and the score of GSES was (2.60±0.65). Pearson correlation analysis showed that core competence of geriatric nursing was positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=0.472, P＜0.01). There were significant differences in the scores of GNCI of geriatric clinical front-line nurses with different ages, working years, educational background, professional title, marriage, personnel nature, number of night shifts on duty, whether they were teaching, professional interests, whether accept advanced study in superior hospitals and family support (P＜ 0.05). There were significant differences in the scores of GSES among clinical front-line geriatric nurses with different ages, marriages, number of night shifts on duty, whether they were teaching, professional interests and family support (P＜0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that professional interest was the influencing factor of core competence of geriatric nursing (P＜0.05). Conclusions The core competence of clinical front-line nurses in Geriatrics Department is low, and their self-efficacy is moderate. There is a positive correlation between them. As a nursing administrator in Geriatrics Department, it is significant to strengthen the training of clinical front-line nurses, constantly improve the training curriculum and career planning, and improve the core competence and self-efficacy of geriatric nursing.
