Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of empathy ability of nurses in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and respect atmosphere of ICU and to analyze the correlations between them.Methods:From January to March 2019, we selected 200 ICU nurses in Henan Children's Hospital by convenience sampling as the research objects. All nurses were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Climate of Respect Scale in ICUs and the Chinese version of Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, 184 of which were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.0%.Results:Among 184 nurses of Pediatric ICU, the total scores of Climate of Respect Scale in ICUs and the Chinese version of Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals were (98.29±7.72) and (103.26±9.12) respectively, all of which were at a medium level.Pediatric ICU respect atmosphere and nurses' empathy ability were positively related with a statistical difference ( P<0.05). Hierarchical stepwise regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of nurses' empathy ability were the education levels, marital status and respect behavior ( P<0.05) , which could explain 30.7% of the total variation. Conclusions:Respect atmosphere of Pediatric ICU nurses have a positive correlation with nurses' empathy ability. Nursing managers should take positive and effective measures to improve the respect atmosphere of Pediatric ICU nurses, enhance nurses'empathy ability, and promote the harmonious development of nurse-patient relationship.
