Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of family function and empathy ability among clinical nurses in some ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals of Zhejiang Province, and to explore the correlation between them.Methods:From January to May 2019, we selected 1 050 clinical nurses from five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Zhejiang Province by convenience sampling to carry out a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires included the General Information Scale, Family APGAR Index as well as the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals (JSE-HP) . In this study, a total of 1050 questionnaires were distributed and 1 032 were collected with 98.3% for the questionnaire recovery rate.Results:Among 1 032 clinical nurses, the total scores of Family APGAR Index and JSE-HP were (6.04±2.90) and (87.33±21.02) respectively. Correlation analysis results showed that dimensions scores of Family APGAR Index had positive correlations with dimensions of JSE-HP with a statistical difference ( r=0.128-0.490, P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that family function had a positive predictive effect on the empathy ability of clinical nurses with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Among clinical nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals, marital status and family function are important factors that affects the level of empathy. Nursing managers should actively pay attention to the empathy of nurses, and provide corresponding help by using relevant organizational support and social support so as to reduce the occurrence of empathy fatigue.
