This study surveyed faculty ability to care and perception of caring characteristics within school of nursing climate.
Caring within schools of nursing is not well understood.
A stratified, random, multistage cluster national sample of 2,043 faculty were surveyed using the Caring Ability Inventory and the Caring Characteristics Within the School of Nursing Climate instruments.
No significant differences on the Caring Ability Inventory were identified by school type. Significant differences were noted in faculty perceptions of a caring climate by school type. State universities and community colleges scored lower on the Trust/Teamwork, Support, and Respect subscales and total Caring Characteristics Within the School of Nursing Climate. Community college scores were lower than private, not-for-profit, and state university scores (p < .05) on the Valued subscale.
Further research is needed to describe and evaluate the caring climate within schools of nursing and the effectiveness of specific strategies to facilitate caring in the school of nursing climate.
本研究调查了护理学院环境中教师的关怀能力及对关怀特质的认知。
护理学院内的关怀情况尚未得到充分理解。
采用分层随机多阶段整群抽样法，对2043名教师进行全国范围抽样调查，使用关怀能力量表和护理学院环境中的关怀特质量表。
不同类型学校在关怀能力量表上未发现显著差异。不同类型学校的教师对关怀氛围的认知存在显著差异。州立大学和社区学院在信任/团队合作、支持和尊重分量表以及护理学院环境中的关怀特质总分上得分较低。在重视分量表上，社区学院的得分低于私立非营利性学校和州立大学（p < 0.05）。
需要进一步研究来描述和评估护理学院内的关怀氛围，以及促进护理学院环境中关怀行为的具体策略的有效性。
