To describe nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education, focusing on organisational, environmental and professional cooperation aspects, and to determine any differences between primary, municipal and hospital care.
Although patient education is an important part of daily nursing practice, the conditions for this work are unclear and require clarification.
A stratified random sample of 701 (83%) nurses working in primary, municipal and hospital care completed a 60-item questionnaire. The study is part of a larger project. The study items relating to organisation, environment and professional cooperation were analysed using descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests and content analysis.
Conditions for patient education differ. Nurses in primary care had better conditions and more managerial support, for example in the allocation of undisturbed time.
Conditions related to organisation, environment and cooperation need to be developed further. In this process, managerial support is important, and nurses must ask for better conditions in order to carry through patient education.
Managerial support for the development of visible patient education routines (e.g. allocation of time, place and guidelines) is required. One recommendation is to designate a person to oversee educational work.
描述护士对患者教育条件的看法，重点关注组织、环境和专业合作方面，并确定初级保健、市立医疗和医院护理之间的差异。
尽管患者教育是日常护理实践的重要组成部分，但这项工作的条件尚不清楚，需要加以澄清。
对在初级保健、市立医疗和医院护理中工作的 701 名（83%）护士进行分层随机抽样，完成了一份包含 60 个项目的问卷。该研究是一个更大项目的一部分。使用描述性统计、非参数检验和内容分析对与组织、环境和专业合作相关的研究项目进行了分析。
患者教育的条件存在差异。初级保健护士的条件更好，获得的管理支持更多，例如在分配不受干扰的时间方面。
需要进一步发展与组织、环境和合作相关的条件。在这个过程中，管理支持很重要，护士必须要求更好的条件，以便开展患者教育。
需要为发展可见的患者教育常规（例如分配时间、地点和指导方针）提供管理支持。一项建议是指定一个人来监督教育工作。
