Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing knowledge-attitude-practice of newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals, so as to provide evidence for improving the standardized training of TCM nursing among newly-recruited nurses.Methods:From March to April in 2020, a total of 800 newly-recruited nurses from 6 TCM hospitals above the municipal level in Hunan Province were selected as research objects by convenient sampling method. The investigation was conducted by TCM Nursing Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire. A total of 800 questionnaires were distributed and 768 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96%.Results:The total score of the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire of the newly recruited nurses of the TCM hospital was (191.61±41.80) ; the scores of knowledge and attitude dimension were (73.93±17.21) and (78.17±15.81) , at a middle level; the score of practice dimension was (39.51±8.78) , at a low level. There were significant differences in the total score of the questionnaire among the new nurses with different hospital levels, working years, whether they graduated from a college of TCM and whether they had received the training of TCM nursing knowledge-attitude-practice ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The newly recruited nurses in TCM hospitals have a high level of TCM nursing knowledge and a positive attitude towards TCM nursing. However, in clinical work, TCM nursing has poor application ability and insufficient use of clinical skills. In-depth study of TCM nursing knowledge should be strengthened, focusing on the cultivation of TCM nursing thinking. It is also important to improve laws, regulations and related rules, and to conduct training according to the different characteristics of new nurses.
