A sample of 208 psychiatric nurses and nursing assistants completed a questionnaire assessing attitudes to treatment and patients. Significant attitudinal differences between groups were found in relation to professional grade, age and sex. Staff with more professional training were less authoritarian and impersonal than staff more junior in the hierarchy. Younger males with Registered Mental Nurse training were found to be significantly less inclined towards physical methods of nursing and treatment. Male nurses tended to favour therapeutic techniques which emphasized independent nurse action and psychological proximity to patients. Female nurses were more favourably inclined to physical methods of treatment and were significantly more authoritarian and formal towards patients in line with the traditional stereotype of the general hospital nurse. Results are discussed in relation to the setting up of new treatment regimes within psychiatric hospitals and the influence that staff attitudes have on their functioning.
208名精神科护士和护理助理参与了一项问卷调查,该问卷旨在评估他们对治疗和患者的态度。研究发现,不同组在专业等级、年龄和性别方面存在显著的态度差异。接受过更多专业培训的员工比层级较低的员工更少独裁和冷漠。接受注册精神科护士培训的年轻男性明显不太倾向于采用身体护理和治疗方法。男护士倾向于采用强调护士独立行动以及与患者心理亲近的治疗技术。女护士更倾向于采用身体治疗方法,并且与综合医院护士的传统刻板印象一致,她们对患者明显更独裁、更刻板。本文将结合精神病院内新治疗方案的设立以及员工态度对其工作的影响来讨论研究结果。
