Control over nursing practice is crucial for improved quality of life for nursing home (NH) residents. Nevertheless, little is known about the association of nurses' demographic data with their perceived control over nursing practice in Jordan and beyond. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the differences in nurses' levels of perceived control over nursing practice based on their demographic characteristics.
This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 163 nurses caring for NH residents. Nurses' perceived control over nursing practice was measured by the Control Over Nursing Practice (CONP) scale.
The participating nurses were found to have low levels of perceived control over nursing practice which varied between the nurse groups according to gender, level of experience, and type of NHs.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: This study is the first quantitative study to examine association between nurses' demographic characteristics, such as age or years of nursing experience, and their perceived control over nursing practice. Despite the preliminary findings of this study, the findings of this study provide a better understanding of the impact of nurses' sociodemographic and professional characteristics on their levels of perceived control over nursing practice.
对护理实践的控制对于提高养老院居民的生活质量至关重要。然而,在约旦及其他地区,关于护士的人口统计学数据与其对护理实践的感知控制之间的关联,人们了解甚少。因此,本研究旨在根据护士的人口统计学特征,考察他们对护理实践的感知控制水平的差异。
本描述性相关性研究以163名照顾养老院居民的护士为便利样本进行。护士对护理实践的感知控制通过护理实践控制(CONP)量表进行测量。
参与研究的护士对护理实践的感知控制水平较低,且根据性别、经验水平和养老院类型的不同,护士群体之间存在差异。
讨论/结论:本研究是第一项考察护士的人口统计学特征(如年龄或护理经验年限)与其对护理实践的感知控制之间关联的定量研究。尽管本研究的结果初步,但这些结果有助于更好地理解护士的社会人口学和专业特征对其护理实践感知控制水平的影响。
