To determine care staff attitudes to dementia, assess levels of job satisfaction and explore how these attitudes and experience may relate to each other.
Forty-nine staff from four long-term care facilities were surveyed using the Approaches to Dementia Questionnaire and the Staff Experience of Working with Demented Residents Questionnaire.
Attitudes were positive, focusing most on 'person-centred' care (4.35) as opposed to 'hopefulness' (3.66). Job satisfaction was also good, being highest in terms of 'resident contact' (2.92) but lowest for work 'environment' (2.12). Care staff attitudes to dementia were positively correlated with job satisfaction (r= 0.366, n= 48, P= 0.011), particularly for attitudes focused on 'person-centred' care (r= 0.393, n= 48, P= 0.006).
Findings suggest an important relationship between care staff attitudes and levels of job satisfaction. More work is needed to specify this relationship.
确定护理人员对痴呆症的态度,评估工作满意度水平,并探讨这些态度和体验之间可能存在的相互关系。
使用《痴呆症处理问卷》和《与痴呆症患者共事的员工体验问卷》对来自四个长期护理机构的49名员工进行了调查。
态度较为积极,最关注“以人为本”的护理(4.35),而非“希望”(3.66)。工作满意度也较高,在“与居民接触”方面最高(2.92),但在“工作环境”方面最低(2.12)。护理人员对痴呆症的态度与工作满意度呈正相关(r = 0.366,n = 48,P = 0.011),特别是对于关注“以人为本”护理的态度(r = 0.393,n = 48,P = 0.006)。
研究结果表明护理人员态度与工作满意度水平之间存在重要关系。需要开展更多工作来明确这种关系。
