Information-sharing between nurses and nursing assistants is necessary for appropriate inpatient care. Nurses who perceive nursing assistant roles highly may display positive behaviors related to information-sharing with nursing assistants. This study aims to examine the relationship between nurses' perceptions of nursing assistant roles and the frequency of their sharing information with nursing assistants. Using a self-administered, cross-sectional survey questionnaire, data from 2,642 nurses in 182 hospitals were collected. Nurses' perceptions of nursing assistant roles were measured with a scale containing four factors: (i) improving patients' abilities through daily care; (ii) caring for various patients using broad perspectives; (iii) facilitating co-ordination and co-operation among team members; and (iv) increasing the amount of information on patients among team members. Information-sharing behaviors included "expressing," "asking," "linguistic response," and "feedback." Multiple regression analyses for each nurse's information-sharing behaviors were conducted. Nurses' perceptions of nursing assistant roles were positively correlated with the frequency of sharing information with nursing assistants. The degree of the correlations differed, depending on the type of information-sharing behavior. Therefore, improving nurses' understanding of nursing assistant roles might increase their information-sharing behaviors.
护士和护理助理之间的信息共享对于适当的住院护理是必要的。那些高度重视护理助理角色的护士可能会表现出与与护理助理分享信息相关的积极行为。本研究旨在探讨护士对护理助理角色的看法与与护理助理分享信息的频率之间的关系。研究采用自填式横断面调查问卷调查了 182 家医院的 2642 名护士。使用包含四个因素的量表来衡量护士对护理助理角色的看法：(i) 通过日常护理提高患者的能力；(ii) 用广泛的视角照顾各种患者；(iii) 促进团队成员之间的协调与合作；以及 (iv) 增加团队成员对患者信息的了解。信息共享行为包括“表达”、“询问”、“语言反应”和“反馈”。对每位护士的信息共享行为进行了多元回归分析。护士对护理助理角色的看法与与护理助理分享信息的频率呈正相关。相关性的程度取决于信息共享行为的类型。因此，提高护士对护理助理角色的理解可能会增加他们的信息共享行为。
