The frequent occurrence of public health emergencies poses a serious challenge to the emergency response capacity of Chinese nurses. However, nurses still suffer from insufficient emergency response knowledge and unskilled skills. An in-depth understanding of the risk factors affecting the emergency response capacity of nursing staff is needed to promote the overall improvement of the emergency response capacity of the healthcare system.
To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of nursing staff's emergency response capacity for public health emergencies, and to provide a reference for the design of a standardized emergency response process, targeted training courses and revision of emergency plans.
A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to April 2024, using a self-designed general information questionnaire and a public health emergency response capacity scale for nursing staff. A survey was carried out among 4,680 nursing staff from secondary and above general hospitals in the Xinjiang region of China. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of nursing staff's emergency response capacity for public health emergencies.
A total of 4292 valid questionnaires were collected. The average score on the emergency response capacity scale was 160.42 ± 24.22, with a mean item score of 4.01 ± 0.61. Multiple linear regression showed that sex, work experience, job title, position, rescue experience, emergency drill experience, presence of anxiety or fear, and willingness to rescue were the factors influencing the emergency response capacity of nursing staff for public health emergencies.
Nursing staff in Xinjiang have the ability to deal with public health emergencies, but they still need to accumulate practical experience. Hospital administrators should improve the emergency response ability of nursing staff to address public health emergencies through a tiered training and assessment mechanism.
突发公共卫生事件的频繁发生对我国护士的应急能力提出了严峻挑战。然而，护士仍存在应急知识不足、技能不熟练的问题。需要深入了解影响护理人员应急能力的风险因素，以促进医疗系统应急能力的整体提升。
调查护理人员应对突发公共卫生事件应急能力的现状及影响因素，为制定标准化应急流程、针对性培训课程及修订应急预案提供参考。
于2024年3月至4月进行描述性横断面调查，采用自行设计的一般资料问卷和护理人员突发公共卫生事件应急能力量表。对我国新疆地区二级及以上综合医院的4680名护理人员进行调查。采用单因素分析和多元线性回归分析探讨护理人员应对突发公共卫生事件应急能力的影响因素。
共收集有效问卷4292份。应急能力量表平均得分为160.42±24.22，平均条目得分为4.01±0.61。多元线性回归显示，性别、工作经验、职称、岗位、救援经验、应急演练经验、焦虑或恐惧情绪、救援意愿是影响护理人员应对突发公共卫生事件应急能力的因素。
新疆护理人员具备应对突发公共卫生事件的能力，但仍需积累实践经验。医院管理者应通过分层培训和考核机制提高护理人员应对突发公共卫生事件的应急能力。
