This descriptive study of a sector of the Canadian nursing population aimed to identify attitudes, knowledge, and roles regarding mutual-aid self-help groups. Questionnaires were mailed to 200 randomly selected hospital nurses and to all 177 community health nurses working in the Nova Scotia metropolitan centre; 74 completed questionnaires were returned. Only half of the respondents considered themselves educationally well prepared for work with self-help groups. Almost all respondents viewed their relevant level of knowledge as only fair, and the most commonly cited reason for non-referral was lack of information. Most desired pertinent inservice training, a directory and continuing-education sessions. Twice as many nurses attended group meetings to increase their familiarity with groups as served initiator, speaker, consultant or non-professional member roles. The majority held positive attitudes regarding the effectiveness, merits and functions of lay help groups, professional linkage with self-help groups and future personal involvement. Reoriented educational mechanisms were recommended to overcome knowledge deficits.
这项针对加拿大部分护士群体的描述性研究旨在确定他们对互助自助团体的态度、知识和角色。问卷被邮寄给200名随机挑选的医院护士以及新斯科舍省大都市中心工作的所有177名社区健康护士；共收到74份已完成的问卷。只有一半的受访者认为自己在与自助团体合作方面接受了良好的教育准备。几乎所有受访者都认为自己的相关知识水平一般，最常提到的不转介的原因是缺乏信息。大多数人希望得到相关的在职培训、一份名录和继续教育课程。参加团体会议以增加对团体熟悉程度的护士人数是担任发起者、演讲者、顾问或非专业成员角色的护士人数的两倍。大多数人对非专业帮助团体的有效性、优点和功能、与自助团体的专业联系以及未来个人参与持积极态度。建议重新调整教育机制以克服知识缺陷。
