Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze application of syndrome-differentiated nursing care in the hospitals of TCM in Hunan. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate and analyze 485 nurses-in-charge or higher positions in 116 hospitals of TCM in Hunan. Results 90.93% of nursing staff hold that syndrome-differentiated nursing care benefits patients' health; 32.37% of nurses were not familiar with syndrome-differentiated nursing care, and the rate of familiarity was higher among the nurses in municipal and provincial hospitals of TCM than those in county and district hospitals of TCM; hospitals of TCM that carry out syndrome-differentiated nursing care exceeding 70% accounted for 12.37%, with municipal and provincial hospitals of TCM higher than county and district hospitals of TCM. Conclusions Application of syndrome-differentiated nursing care in the hospitals of TCM is of concern. Reform of management model, training system, regulations and laws is needed to encourage nurses' application of syndromedifferentiated nursing care.
