To explore differences in nurses' attitudes regarding the importance of family in nursing care and factors associated with nurses' attitudes across 11 European countries.
Family involvement in healthcare has received attention in many European healthcare systems. Nurses have a unique opportunity to promote family involvement in healthcare; however, their attitudes and beliefs may facilitate or impede this practice.
A cross-sectional survey across European countries.
A broad convenience sample of 8112 nurses across 11 European countries was recruited from October 2017 to December 2019. Data were collected using the Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA) questionnaire. We used the STROBE checklist to report the results.
There were significant differences in nurses' attitudes about families' importance in nursing care across Europe. Country was the factor with the strongest association with the total scores of the FINC-NA. Older age, higher level of education, increased years since graduation, having a strategy for the care of families in the workplace, and having experience of illness within one's own family were associated with a higher total FINC-NA score. Being male and working in a hospital or other clinical settings were associated with a lower total FINC-NA score.
Nurses' attitudes regarding the importance of family in nursing care vary across 11 European countries. This study highlights multiple factors associated with nurses' attitudes. Further research is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the reasons for nurses' different attitudes and to develop a strong theoretical framework across Europe to support family involvement in patient care. The inclusion of family healthcare programs in the baccalaureate curriculum may improve nurses' attitudes.
In clinical practice, the focus should be on identifying influencing factors on nurses' attitudes to enhance families' importance in nursing care across Europe.
探讨 11 个欧洲国家护士对护理中家庭重要性的态度差异，以及与护士态度相关的因素。
在许多欧洲医疗保健系统中，家庭参与医疗保健受到关注。护士有独特的机会促进家庭参与医疗保健；然而，他们的态度和信念可能会促进或阻碍这种实践。
在欧洲国家进行的一项横断面调查。
2017 年 10 月至 2019 年 12 月，从 11 个欧洲国家招募了 8112 名护士进行广泛的便利抽样。使用家庭在护理中的重要性-护士态度（FINC-NA）问卷收集数据。我们使用 STROBE 清单报告结果。
欧洲各国护士对家庭在护理中的重要性的态度存在显著差异。国家是与 FINC-NA 总分关联最强的因素。年龄较大、教育程度较高、毕业后工作年限较长、在工作场所为家庭提供护理策略以及自身家庭中有患病经历与较高的 FINC-NA 总分相关。男性和在医院或其他临床环境中工作与较低的 FINC-NA 总分相关。
11 个欧洲国家的护士对护理中家庭重要性的态度存在差异。本研究强调了与护士态度相关的多个因素。需要进一步研究以深入了解护士不同态度的原因，并在整个欧洲建立一个支持患者家庭参与的强有力的理论框架。在本科课程中纳入家庭医疗保健计划可能会改善护士的态度。
在临床实践中，应重点关注确定影响护士态度的因素，以增强欧洲各国护士对护理中家庭重要性的重视。
