Abstract:
Objective:To conduct a survey on the current situation of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in the community from multiple dimensions such as personal information, work status, professional quality, difficult problems encountered in the nursing process, and solutions.Methods:From April to August 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among family nursing assistants of elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in six communities in Beijing using cluster sampling. We conducted a survey and analysis on the current situation of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in the community from multiple dimensions, based on the presence or absence of professional qualification certificates for nursing assistants.Results:The study included 611 nursing assistants, aged (49.99±6.82) years, mainly composed of rural registered residence and education level below junior high school. Only 43.04% (263/611) of nursing assistants had professional qualification certificates for nursing assistants. Compared with those without professional qualification certificate for nursing assistants, those with professional qualification certificate for nursing assistants had statistical differences in gender, registered residence, education level, daily working hours, specific work content of care, monthly income, solutions to reduce the mobility of elderly nursing assistants, working years, feelings of caring for the daily health of elderly people with chronic diseases, psychological status, self-awareness about job, training to improve work skills, basic medical knowledge training, and reasons for not participating in training ( P<0.05). Nursing assistants reported a lack of medical and nursing knowledge and an urgent need for professional training and guidance from medical and nursing staff during the investigation of difficult issues encountered in their work. Conclusions:It is necessary to strengthen and improve the training of nursing professionals and basic medical knowledge of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability before and during work, which can help improve the level and quality of care provided by family nursing assistants.
