To investigate nurses' self-efficacy and attitudes of providing oral care in geriatric care facilities (GCFs) and compare differences between individuals, facilities and countries.
A cross-sectional and multicentre study.
Data were collected from 852 nurses in 42 GCFs using two scales, "Self-Efficacy for Providing Mouth Care" (SE-PMC) and "Attitudes for Providing Mouth Care" (A-PMC), and analysed using t-test and ANOVA.
Totally 852 nurses (844 females, 99%) participated in this study with an effective response rate of 85.2%. Scores of SE-PMC and A-PMC of nurses varied significantly among GCFs with different sizes, types and years of establishment and differentiated among staff about the length of employment (p < .05). Nurses (N = 434) in North Carolina scored higher than nurses in Shanghai both in SE-PMC and A-PMC (p < .05). Establishment and implementation of Oral health promotion programmes were desired based on characteristics of different institutions and nurses' clinical ladder.
调查老年保健机构(GCFs)中护士提供口腔护理的自我效能感和态度,并比较个体、机构和国家之间的差异。
横断面和多中心研究。
使用“提供口腔护理自我效能感量表”(SE-PMC)和“提供口腔护理态度量表”(A-PMC),对 42 个 GCFs 中的 852 名护士进行数据收集,采用 t 检验和方差分析进行分析。
共有 852 名护士(844 名女性,99%)参与了这项研究,有效应答率为 85.2%。护士的 SE-PMC 和 A-PMC 评分在不同规模、类型和建立年限的 GCFs 之间存在显著差异,并且在员工的就业年限上存在差异(p < .05)。北卡罗来纳州的护士(N=434)在 SE-PMC 和 A-PMC 中的得分均高于上海的护士(p < .05)。根据不同机构和护士临床阶梯的特点,需要制定和实施口腔健康促进计划。
