Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding insulin injection among clinical nurses in a Macao, China hospital and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:From October to December 2022, 350 clinical nurses from Kiang Wu Hospital in Macao were selected as study subjects by cluster sampling. A questionnaire was employed to gather data on their demographics, experience with insulin injection protocols, and their KAP regarding insulin injection. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the factors influencing nurses' KAP regarding insulin injection.Results:The KAP score for insulin injection among the 350 clinical nurses was (185.71±17.29). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the department of work, having received standardized insulin injection training in the past year, providing insulin injection education to diabetic patients, and awareness of the hospital's insulin injection guidelines were significant influencing factors of the KAP score ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall KAP scores regarding insulin injection among the surveyed clinical nurses are good. Nurses demonstrate strong attitudes and practices toward insulin injection, but their knowledge is relatively weaker. Future studies should expand the scope of standardized insulin injection training in clinical settings and provide supportive resources for related training courses for nurses.
