One of the key elements in family-centered care is educating parents with hospitalized infant at intensive care unit. Education is a fundamental role of nursing at intensive care units to satisfy parents and accelerate disease progression that eventually reduces hospital re-admission.
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2018, and the study population was admitted infants ( = 90) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences hospitals. We used a questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics and performance of nurses in educating parents. Nurses' performance was assessed in five major areas composed of family-centered care, delivering cares according to individualized needs, education on equipment, basic needs of infants, and finally, nutritional education. All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 22. The data were analyzed using -test, ANOVA, and nonparametric tests.
Findings from the current study indicated that nurses performed their educational role weakly (37% of standard level). We also found that nurses who participated in neonatal educational courses had better performance compared to their counterparts. The results showed that year of experiences working as a clinical nurse was significantly associated ( < 0.05) with performing standard education.
Our findings indicated that nurses performed their educational role weakly which might be due to staff shortage, heavy workload, and lack of time for educating parents. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of education among nurses working at the NICUs and provide the necessary standards and indicators to evaluate this important task.
以家庭为中心的护理的关键要素之一是对重症监护病房中住院婴儿的父母进行教育。教育是重症监护病房护理的一项基本职责，旨在满足父母的需求并加速疾病康复进程，最终减少再次入院情况。
这是一项于2018年开展的横断面研究，研究对象为沙希德·贝赫什提医科大学附属医院新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）收治的婴儿（n = 90）。我们使用了一份包含社会人口学特征以及护士对父母进行教育的表现的问卷。护士的表现从五个主要方面进行评估，包括以家庭为中心的护理、根据个体需求提供护理、设备教育、婴儿的基本需求，以及最后的营养教育。所有统计分析均使用SPSS 22版软件进行。数据采用t检验、方差分析和非参数检验进行分析。
本研究结果表明护士在教育方面表现欠佳（达到标准水平的37%）。我们还发现，参加过新生儿教育课程的护士相比未参加的表现更好。结果显示，临床护士的工作年限与进行标准教育显著相关（P < 0.05）。
我们的研究结果表明护士在教育方面表现薄弱，这可能是由于人员短缺、工作量大以及缺乏对父母进行教育的时间。因此，有必要提高在新生儿重症监护病房工作的护士的教育质量，并提供必要的标准和指标来评估这项重要任务。
