To determine the adverse childhood experience scores (ACES) of nursing students in the United States.
Utilized the standardized Family Health History Questionnaire to determine the ACES of a national sample of nursing students. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the findings.
Nursing students ACES indicate that they enter academia with a much higher baseline of childhood trauma versus the general population. Over 40% of nursing students surveyed had an ACES of 4 or more versus the national average of 12.5-13.3% of the general population having an ACES of 4 or more.
This data provides support for Conti-O'Hare's theory of nurses as wounded healer. Nursing faculty should consider nursing students to be members of a vulnerable population and revise curricula to support nursing students stress resileince.
确定美国护理学生的不良童年经历评分(ACES)。
利用标准化的家庭健康史问卷来确定全国护理学生样本的 ACES。使用简单的描述性统计分析来分析结果。
护理学生的 ACES 表明,与一般人群相比,他们进入学术界时的童年创伤基线要高得多。超过 40%的接受调查的护理学生的 ACES 得分为 4 或更高,而全国范围内有 12.5-13.3%的一般人群的 ACES 得分为 4 或更高。
这些数据为康迪-奥哈拉(Conti-O'Hare)的护士作为受伤治疗者的理论提供了支持。护理教师应将护理学生视为弱势群体的成员,并修改课程,以支持护理学生的抗压能力。
