Abstract:
Objective To explore the current situation of caring behavior among hospice nurses,and to analyze its latent profiles and population characteristics,so as to provide ideas for targeted interventions.Methods From August to November 2023,convenience sampling was used to select hospice nurses from 22 secondary and above hospitals in Jiangsu Province,Zhejiang Province,Shanghai City,Shandong Province,Anhui Province,Beijing City,Guangdong Province,and Sichuan Province.The demographic characteristics questionnaire,the Caring Behaviors Inventory,the Empathy Ability Scale for Hospice Nurses,and the Practice Environment Scale were used for investigation.Latent profile analysis was conducted based on 24 items of the Caring Behaviors Inventory as explicit indicators,and the influencing factors of different profiles were analyzed through multivariate logistic regression model.Results A total of 420 questionnaires were collected,of which 393 were valid,with a valid questionnaire response rate of 93.57％.The caring behavior of hospice nurses could be divided into 3 latent profiles,namely high level of care-low respect and connection group(49.62％),high to low caring behavior-overall fluctuation group(30.79％),and medium level of care-high knowledge and skills group(19.59％).The results of multivariate logistic regression showed that age,the dimensions of cognitive and emotional empathy in the Empathy Ability Scale for Hospice Nurses and the dimension of nursing foundations for quality of care in the Practice Environment Scale were the influencing factors of the latent profile of hospice nurses'caring behavior(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is significant heterogeneity in the caring behavior of hospice nurses.Nursing managers should develop individualized interventions for hospice nurses according to the influencing factors of different latent profiles to improve their level of caring behavior.
