Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitude and behavior of primary caregivers about aspiration prevention in high-risk aspiration patients and to analyze its influencing factors so as to provide a basis for formulating the health education and continuous nursing intervention in high-risk aspiration patients.Methods:From July 2018 to December 2018, we selected 232 primary caregivers of high-risk aspiration patients at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, by convenience sampling. All care givers were investigated with the Aspiration Prevention Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for the Inpatient Caregiver. We also analyzed the influencing factors of aspiration prevention knowledge, attitude and behavior.Results:Finally, a total of 220 valid questionnaires were collected with 94.83% for the valid recovery rate. Among 220 primary caregivers, scores of aspiration prevention knowledge, attitude and behavior were (31.41±9.99) , (45.83±5.19) and (40.57±8.92) respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the aspiration prevention knowledge of caregivers had positive correlations with the attitude ( r=0.425, P<0.01) and the behavior ( r=0.554, P<0.01) , the attitude also had a positive correlation with the behavior ( r=0.472, P<0.01) . Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of aspiration prevention knowledge and behavior among caregivers with different ages, genders, relationships with patients, care experience, care years and whether caregivers had been trained ( P<0.05) ; there were also statistical differences in the score of aspiration prevention attitude among caregivers with different ages, relationships with patients, care years and whether caregivers had been trained ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the influencing factors of aspiration prevention knowledge of caregivers included the ages, care experience and whether caregivers had been trained with statistical differences (Standardized regression coefficients were -0.173, -0.181, -0.337; P<0.05) ; the influencing factor of aspiration prevention attitude of caregivers was the ages with a statistical difference (The standardized regression coefficient was -0.179, P<0.01) . Conclusions:Primary caregivers of high-risk aspiration patients have a good aspiration prevention attitude, a medium level of behavior their knowledge needs to be improves. Nurses should pay more attention to the aspiration prevention care of caregivers with no care experience, untrained and non-middle age.
