To examine factors associated with promotion of the nursing profession, to the nursing community, other healthcare professionals and the general public, by nurses employed in diverse healthcare settings.
Little is known about the factors that contribute to nurses' involvement in the promotion of the nursing profession.
This cross-sectional study comprises a convenience sample of registered nurses (n = 526) with ≥ 3 months' experience in nursing, who are employed in internal and surgical units, pediatric wards, psychiatric wards or in the community across Israel. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire addressing socio-demographic, occupational and organizational factors relating to the nursing work environment and to the extent of nurses' involvement in promotion of the nursing profession. Descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multivariate linear regression were performed.
Nurses in all the surveyed healthcare settings reported relatively low levels of involvement in promotion of the profession, either to the nursing community or to other healthcare professionals and the public. Being a female-nurse was significantly negatively associated with nurses' involvement in promotion of the nursing profession. In contrast, holding a master's degree in nursing, having a managerial role, and working in a supportive organizational nursing work environment were the principal factors associated with positive promotion of the nursing profession.
The extent of nurses' involvement in promotion of the nursing profession mainly depends on occupational factors and a supportive organizational nursing work environment.
Healthcare managers may advance nurses' involvement in promotion of the profession by modifying the organizational nursing work environment. Specifically, we recommend nurse leaders to dedicate efforts to make professional promotion an integral part of a nurse's role.
探讨不同医疗环境中工作的护士向护理群体、其他医疗专业人员及普通公众宣传护理专业的相关因素。
对于促使护士参与护理专业宣传的因素，人们了解甚少。
本横断面研究采用便利抽样法，选取了526名注册护士作为样本，这些护士均有至少3个月的护理工作经验，就职于以色列各地的内科和外科病房、儿科病房、精神科病房或社区。参与者完成了一份自填式问卷，内容涉及与护理工作环境以及护士参与护理专业宣传程度相关的社会人口学、职业和组织因素。进行了描述性统计、单因素方差分析、Pearson相关分析和多元线性回归分析。
在所有接受调查的医疗环境中，护士向护理群体、其他医疗专业人员及公众宣传护理专业的参与程度均相对较低。女性护士与参与护理专业宣传显著负相关。相比之下，拥有护理学硕士学位、担任管理职务以及在支持性的组织护理工作环境中工作是与积极宣传护理专业相关的主要因素。
护士参与护理专业宣传的程度主要取决于职业因素和支持性的组织护理工作环境。
医疗保健管理人员可通过改善组织护理工作环境来促进护士参与护理专业宣传。具体而言，我们建议护士长致力于将专业宣传作为护士角色的一个组成部分。
