This study aimed to describe nurses' attitudes and beliefs towards the importance of family in nursing care and explore differences in nurses' attitudes and beliefs towards family-centered care between different healthcare institutions, such as community healthcare centers and hospitals.
Family significantly affects the well-being and health of individuals. Therefore, nurses should support family engagement in nursing care. In recent years, family nursing research has emphasized the importance of teaching family nursing skills in continued education in healthcare institutions. Research has indicated that nurses who believe that illness concerns the family as a whole are more likely to involve the family in patient care.
A cross-sectional research design was used.
Data were collected at one timepoint between March and September 2019 from 425 nurses working at the Primary Health Care Centers of the Capital Area (n=112) and in clinical settings at the University Hospital in Iceland (n=313).
The main findings indicated that nurses working in the women-and-child division at the University Hospital reported significantly more positive attitudes towards family evolvement in patient care than nurses working in the intensive care or surgical units. For nurses working at healthcare centers, a significant difference was also found in the nurses' attitudes towards involving families in patient care. The nurses who were working in home care had significantly more positive attitudes when compared to those working in the infant and young children health promotion units.
Greater collaboration is required between healthcare providers and families to improve the quality of care and health-related outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to enhance nurses' knowledge about the importance of families during patient care.
This study aimed to describe nurses' attitudes and beliefs towards family care. Differences were found between nurse's attitudes by units but not by institutions.
本研究旨在描述护士对家庭在护理中的重要性的态度和信念，并探讨不同医疗机构（如社区保健中心和医院）的护士对以家庭为中心的护理的态度和信念的差异。
家庭对个人的幸福和健康有重大影响。因此，护士应支持家庭参与护理。近年来，家庭护理研究强调了在医疗机构的继续教育中教授家庭护理技能的重要性。研究表明，认为疾病涉及整个家庭的护士更有可能让家庭参与患者护理。
采用横断面研究设计。
于 2019 年 3 月至 9 月期间，在首都地区的初级保健中心（n=112）和冰岛大学医院的临床科室（n=313）一次性收集了 425 名护士的数据。
主要发现表明，与在重症监护或外科病房工作的护士相比，在大学医院妇女和儿童科工作的护士在患者护理中家庭参与方面的态度明显更为积极。对于在保健中心工作的护士，在护士对参与患者护理的态度方面也存在显著差异。与在婴儿和幼儿健康促进单位工作的护士相比，从事家庭护理的护士的态度明显更为积极。
需要加强医疗保健提供者和家庭之间的合作，以提高护理质量和健康相关结果。因此，在患者护理过程中增强护士对家庭重要性的认识至关重要。
本研究旨在描述护士对家庭护理的态度和信念。护士的态度因科室而异，但不因机构而异。
