Current Status and Factors Influencing Emergency Response Capability of Shared Nurses in the Internet + Nursing Service Model: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.

AIM

To evaluate the existing level of emergency capabilities among shared nurses and analyze the factors influencing these capabilities.

METHODS

An descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to October 2023, a purposive sampling method was employed to select 340 shared nurses as the subjects for investigation in Nanchang and Ganzhou cities of Jiangxi Province, as well as Wenzhou city in Zhejiang Province. A self - designed questionnaire on the emergency capabilities of shared nurses was utilized for data collection.

RESULTS

This investigation encompassed the collection of 340 valid questionnaires, assessing the overall emergency response proficiency of shared nurses. The cumulative score amounted to (170.81±24.62), averaging (4.27±0.62). It is noteworthy that the dimension scoring the highest was preparedness (4.33±0.68), whereas the recovery capability dimension received the lowest score (4.17±0.75). Through multiple linear regression analysis, it was determined that marital status, participation in emergency capability training, and experience in home nursing services significantly influenced the emergency capabilities of shared nurses (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION

Shared nurses in China demonstrate a moderately high level of emergency response capability. The marital status, participation in emergency capacity training, and on-site nursing service experience are pivotal factors influencing the emergency capabilities of shared nurses. Nursing administrators should prioritize the development of emergency capacity training and team building for shared nurses, establishing a scientifically standardized mechanism for training, assessment, and management. The implementation of performance evaluation mechanisms for shared nurses is crucial to enhance professional awareness within the workforce.
