Analyzing beliefs and actions of nurses in exercising patient advocacy in a hospital context.
A quantitative cross-sectional exploratory and descriptive study, conducted with 153 nurses from two hospitals in southern Brazil, one public and one philanthropic, by applying Protective Nursing Advocacy Scale - Brazilian version. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance.
Nurses believe they are advocating for patients in their workplaces, and agree that they should advocate, especially when vulnerable patients need their protection. Personal values and professional skills have been identified as major sources of support for the practice of advocacy.
Nurses do not disagree nor agree that advocating for patients in their working environments can bring them negative consequences. It is necessary to recognize how the characteristics of public and private institutions have helped or not helped in exercising patient advocacy by nurses.
分析护士在医院环境中践行患者权益维护时的信念与行为。
采用定量横断面探索性描述性研究，通过应用巴西版保护性护理倡导量表，对巴西南部两家医院（一家公立、一家慈善医院）的153名护士进行研究。数据采用描述性统计和方差分析。
护士认为他们在工作场所为患者提供权益维护，并且认同他们应该进行权益维护，尤其是当弱势患者需要保护时。个人价值观和专业技能已被确定为权益维护实践的主要支持来源。
护士对于在工作环境中为患者提供权益维护是否会给他们带来负面后果并无异议。有必要认识到公立和私立机构的特征如何有助于或无助于护士践行患者权益维护。
