This study explored perinatal nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices of SSC, to identify knowledge-practice gaps.
A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was completed by 101 perinatal nurses. Descriptive statistics and ordered logistical regression were used to describe and compare nurses' responses.
The participants strongly agreed that it is nurses' responsibility to advocate for SSC. Significant differences (p<0.01) were reported in provision of SSC with eligible infants between nurses within and between practice settings, education levels, year experience and age differences. Education levels significantly influenced attitudes and implementation of SSC. Perinatal nurses' responses about how difficult it is to initiate SSC changes were affected by years of nursing practice (p<0.04).
Perinatal nurses strongly believe in SSC practices, yet additional training regarding SSC implementation is needed. Education levels, primary practice settings and years of practice appear to influence nurses' implementation of SSC.
本研究探讨围产期护士对肌肤接触护理（SSC）的知识、态度和实践，以识别知识与实践之间的差距。
101名围产期护士完成了一项描述性横断面调查设计。使用描述性统计和有序逻辑回归来描述和比较护士的回答。
参与者强烈认同倡导肌肤接触护理是护士的职责。在不同实践环境、教育水平、工作年限和年龄的护士之间，为符合条件的婴儿提供肌肤接触护理方面报告了显著差异（p<0.01）。教育水平显著影响了对肌肤接触护理的态度和实施情况。围产期护士对开始实施肌肤接触护理难度的回答受护理工作年限的影响（p<0.04）。
围产期护士坚信肌肤接触护理实践，但仍需要关于实施肌肤接触护理的额外培训。教育水平、主要实践环境和工作年限似乎会影响护士对肌肤接触护理的实施。
