Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study, based on the self-determination theory, aims to explore the current situation of geriatric nurses' perceptions of spiritual care and its relationship with their professional attitude. It was conducted from February to May 2022.

BACKGROUND

As the population ages, it is necessary to actively implement coping strategies. Geriatric nurses are important human resources, so we should pay attention to their perception of spiritual care for the elderly and their attitude towards the nursing profession.

DESIGN

A cross-sectional survey was conducted.

METHODS

A total of 488 geriatric nurses engaged in elderly care were recruited from different hospitals in China. An online questionnaire was used to assess geriatric nurses' sociodemographics, their perception of spiritual care and their professional attitude.

RESULTS

This study's findings indicate that the overall average score of geriatric nurses' perception of spiritual care was at a medium level (173.64 ± 27.87). Geriatric nurses' professional attitude was positively correlated with spiritual care perception (p < 0.001). The multiple stepwise linear regression model (n = 488) had an explained variance (R = 0.216), and three factors such as the need to enhance the ability of spiritual care through lectures and other methods were the main predictors of the perception level of spiritual care among geriatric nurses (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The findings demonstrated that the enhancement of professional attitudes among geriatric nurses can effectively augment their perception and implementation of spiritual care.

IMPLICATION FOR NURSING MANAGERS

This study's result is helpful for nursing managers to identify the weak links in the overall nursing services for elderly patients, thereby carrying out relevant intervention measures, improving the perception level of spiritual care of geriatric nurses, optimising the quality of elderly care services and achieving healthy aging.

PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION

No patient or public contribution. The study focused on the current situation of geriatric nurses' perceptions of spiritual care and its relationship with their professional attitude. Therefore, the involvement of patients or the public was not deemed necessary for achieving the specific research objectives.

REPORTING METHODS

The reporting of the study was guided by the STROBE checklist.

摘要

目的

本研究基于自我决定理论，旨在探讨老年护理人员对精神关怀的认知现状及其与职业态度的关系。研究于2022年2月至5月进行。

背景

随着人口老龄化，积极实施应对策略很有必要。老年护理人员是重要的人力资源，因此我们应关注他们对老年人精神关怀的认知以及他们对护理职业的态度。

设计

采用横断面调查。

方法

从中国不同医院招募了488名从事老年护理工作的护士。通过在线问卷评估老年护理人员的社会人口统计学特征、对精神关怀的认知以及职业态度。

结果

本研究结果表明，老年护理人员对精神关怀的认知总体平均得分处于中等水平（173.64±27.87）。老年护理人员的职业态度与精神关怀认知呈正相关（p<0.001）。多元逐步线性回归模型（n = 488）的解释方差（R = 0.216），通过讲座等方式提高精神关怀能力的需求等三个因素是老年护理人员精神关怀认知水平的主要预测因素（p<0.001）。
