The reasons for the unfavorable performance of hospitals in providing care to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients include the lack of preparation, knowledge, and relevant skills, making it necessary to evaluate the preparedness of nurses to respond to COVID-19. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the preparedness of hospitals affiliated with Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022.
In this analytical study, data were collected from 350 randomly selected nurses who worked in three hospitals affiliated with Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences; demographic information tools and the preparation of nurses for COVID-19 patients were used to collect the data. We analyzed the data using SPSS software version 26.
The mean and standard deviation of the total preparation score was 118.85 ± 0.98. The lowest (6.80 ± 0.18) and highest (23.35 ± 0.19) average values belonged to risk assessment and management and COVID-19, respectively. The score of nurses' preparedness to deal with COVID-19 was not statistically correlated with age, work experience, and so on. The average preparation score was significantly different in different treatment departments (operating room and COVID-19).
The preparation of nurses was low in dealing with COVID-19. Thus, managers of nursing services should design and implement educational programs to strengthen the nurses' weaknesses and ultimately increase their awareness and skills in dealing with disasters.
医院在为2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者提供护理方面表现不佳的原因包括缺乏准备、知识和相关技能,因此有必要评估护士应对COVID-19的准备情况。因此,本研究旨在调查2022年COVID-19大流行期间设拉子医科大学附属医院的准备情况。
在这项分析性研究中,从设拉子医科大学附属医院随机抽取的350名护士中收集数据;使用人口统计学信息工具和护士对COVID-19患者的准备情况来收集数据。我们使用SPSS 26版软件分析数据。
总体准备得分的平均值和标准差为118.85±0.98。最低(6.80±0.18)和最高(23.35±0.19)平均值分别属于风险评估与管理和COVID-19。护士应对COVID-19的准备得分与年龄、工作经验等无统计学相关性。不同治疗科室(手术室和COVID-19)的平均准备得分存在显著差异。
护士应对COVID-19的准备情况较差。因此,护理服务管理者应设计并实施教育项目,以弥补护士的不足,最终提高他们应对灾难的意识和技能。
