Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the soft skills of nursing teachers in the department of gastroenterology and their impact on teaching behaviors.Methods:A total of 438 nursing teachers from the Department of Gastroenterology of 12 grade A tertiary hospitals in our province were selected as the subjects by cluster sampling. The general information questionnaire, nursing soft skill assessment scale, and clinical nursing mentors' behavior scale were used for a questionnaire survey. The scores for soft skills and teaching behaviors of nursing teachers were evaluated. A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to discuss the correlation between soft skills and teaching behaviors. The independent sample t test and variance analysis were performed for univariate analysis of teaching behaviors. A multivariate analysis of teaching behaviors was performed by multiple linear regression analysis. Results:The total score of the nursing soft skill assessment scale was (164.75±18.49), and the average score of items was (3.43±0.49). The total score of the clinical nursing mentors' behavior scale was (94.26±8.48), and the average score of items was (4.10±0.46). The total score of nursing soft skills was positively correlated with the total score of teaching behaviors ( r=0.31, P<0.05). The total score of the behavior scale of nursing teachers varied significantly across different education backgrounds, professional titles, nursing ages, and teaching years ( P<0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis found that professional title, teaching years, and nursing soft skills were important factors affecting the teaching behavior level of nursing teachers, which could explain 39.50% of the teaching behavior level. Conclusion:Soft skills of nursing teachers in the Department of Gastroenterology are at a middle level. Professional title, teaching years, and soft skills are important factors affecting teaching behaviors. Improving soft skills of nursing teachers may help improve teaching behaviors.
