Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families rely on health care providers, particularly nurses, to provide accurate information, yet inaccurate beliefs about TBI have been found among nurses. Although prior studies have assessed nurses' beliefs about TBI recovery and rehabilitation, none have assessed specific beliefs about the nursing role to care for these patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' beliefs and learning preferences about caring for patients with moderate-to-severe TBI. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 513 nurses at a Midwestern hospital between October and December 2014 (20.3% response rate). Latent class analysis was used. Findings showed that nurses had inaccurate beliefs about TBI relating to recovery and the nursing role, and had significant differences in learning preferences. These findings have implications for development of educational and training interventions specific to nurses to ensure that they have factual information about TBI and to clarify the nursing role.
创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者及其家属依赖医疗保健提供者，尤其是护士，来提供准确信息，但研究发现护士中存在对TBI的错误认知。尽管先前的研究评估了护士对TBI康复和恢复的认知，但没有一项研究评估过护士对护理此类患者角色的具体认知。本研究的目的是调查护士对护理中重度TBI患者的认知和学习偏好。2014年10月至12月期间，对一家中西部医院的513名护士进行了横断面调查（回复率为20.3%）。采用了潜在类别分析。结果显示，护士对TBI的恢复和护理角色存在错误认知，且在学习偏好上存在显著差异。这些发现对开发针对护士的教育和培训干预措施具有启示意义，以确保他们掌握有关TBI的实际信息并明确护理角色。
