Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice of palliative care among nurses in 10 general hospitals in Beijing and explore its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for further training and management of palliative care.Methods:From March to April 2020, convenience sampling was used to select nurses from 10 general hospitals in Beijing for investigation with three questionnaires on knowledge, attitude and behavior of palliative care in Chinese. A total of 850 questionnaires were returned and 833 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid rate of 98.00%. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and behavior of palliative care among nurses.Results:The overall score for palliative care of nursing staff in 10 general hospitals in Beijing was (82.16±8.73) , with a score rate of 68.47%. The knowledge score was (12.36±4.14) with a score rate of 61.80%, and the attitude score was (36.85±3.97) with a score rate of 61.42%, and the behavior score was (32.95±5.84) with a score rate of 82.37%. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that participation in palliative care training, gender, job title, knowledge and attitude, and monthly income were the main influencing factors of nurses' knowledge, attitude and behavior on palliative care ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The current status of palliative care awareness among nurses in Beijing general hospitals is at an intermediate level and needs to be further improved. Nursing managers should strengthen the training and education of nursing staff, improve relevant knowledge, palliative care attitudes and professional enthusiasm, so as to promote behavioral changes and improve the quality of clinical nursing.
