BACKGROUND
Chronic foot pain (CFP) impacts nurses' ability to provide care at the bedside. Treatment options for CFP were insufficient to address foot pain for nurses who stand or walk for prolonged periods while providing care to patients.
AIMS
This study aimed to explore nurses' experience with CFP, current treatment options for foot pain, and the impact of foot pain on nurses' job performance.
METHODS
This is secondary data from Individual interviews ( = 122) involving open-ended questions. Data were collected between April 2019-September 2020 while attending the National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps program comprising faculty and students among others in the United States. Multiple linear regression and multinomial/binary logistic regressions were conducted to assess what factors were associated with the pain and pain relief solutions.
RESULTS
Nurses who worked at the bedside predominantly switched jobs and reported higher levels of foot pain than those who did not switch jobs ( = 0.19, = .044). Longer working hours ( = 0.35, < .001) were associated with higher levels of pain. Nurses who worked longer time were more likely to purchase new work shoes and socks ( = 1.177, = .025) to alleviate foot pain than changing shoes only.
CONCLUSIONS
Most nurses expressed interest in new products to relieve their CFP. Innovations are urgently needed to address CFP. Future longitudinal studies are required to further elucidate appropriate preventative strategies to prevent and treat CFP in nurses.
背景
慢性足部疼痛（CFP）影响护士在床边提供护理的能力。对于在为患者提供护理时需要长时间站立或行走的护士而言，CFP的治疗方案不足以解决足部疼痛问题。
目的
本研究旨在探讨护士患CFP的经历、当前足部疼痛的治疗方案以及足部疼痛对护士工作表现的影响。
方法
这是来自个人访谈（n = 122）的二手数据，其中包含开放式问题。数据收集于2019年4月至2020年9月期间，当时参加了美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的I-Corps项目，该项目包括教师和学生等。进行了多元线性回归和多项/二元逻辑回归，以评估哪些因素与疼痛及疼痛缓解方案相关。
结果
主要在床边工作的护士换工作的情况更为普遍，并且报告的足部疼痛水平高于未换工作的护士（β = 0.19，p = 0.044）。工作时间越长（β = 0.35，p < 0.001），疼痛程度越高。工作时间较长的护士比仅更换鞋子更有可能购买新的工作鞋和袜子（β = 1.177，p = 0.025）来缓解足部疼痛。
结论
大多数护士对缓解CFP的新产品表示感兴趣。迫切需要创新来解决CFP问题。未来需要进行纵向研究，以进一步阐明预防和治疗护士CFP的适当预防策略。
