The purpose of this study was to survey staff nurses on their perceived and actual level of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. A convenience sample of 184 professional staff nurses from both inpatient and outpatient settings of a large research-teaching hospital was surveyed. The Diabetes Self-Report Tool (Cronbach's alpha = .91) was used to assess staff nurses' perceptions of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. The Diabetes: Basic Knowledge Test (DBKT; Cronbach's alpha = .79) was used to measure the actual level of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficients. A moderately low negative correlation (r = -.36, P less than .001) indicated that the staff nurses' perceived knowledge of diabetes mellitus was inversely related to actual knowledge. Subjects were found to have a mean score of 64% on the DBKT. Study findings raise questions as to the adequacy of staff nurse knowledge of diabetes and the ability of staff nurses to assess themselves for knowledge deficits.
本研究的目的是调查注册护士对糖尿病的认知水平和实际知识水平。对一家大型研究型教学医院的住院部和门诊部的184名专业注册护士进行了便利抽样调查。使用糖尿病自我报告工具（克朗巴赫α系数 = 0.91）来评估注册护士对糖尿病知识的认知。使用糖尿病基础知识测试（DBKT；克朗巴赫α系数 = 0.79）来衡量糖尿病的实际知识水平。数据采用Pearson相关系数进行分析。中等程度的低负相关（r = -0.36，P < 0.001）表明，注册护士对糖尿病的认知与实际知识呈负相关。研究发现，受试者在DBKT上的平均得分为64%。研究结果引发了关于注册护士糖尿病知识的充分性以及注册护士自我评估知识缺陷能力的问题。
