Staff nurses were surveyed on their perceived and actual level of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. Staff nurses (n = 32) employed at a rural 62-bed acute care hospital in the southeastern United States constituted a convenience sample. The Diabetes Self-Report Tool was used to assess staff nurses' perceptions of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. Using a Likert-type scale a mean score of 88% was obtained concerning perceived knowledge. The Diabetes Basic Knowledge Test was used to measure the actual level of knowledge of diabetes mellitus. A mean score of 75% was obtained on the Diabetes Basic Knowledge Test. Nurses' perception of knowledge was not related to actual knowledge scores. Study findings raise questions for the nurse involved in staff development concerning the adequacy of nursing competency validation in the area of diabetes management.
对注册护士关于糖尿病的认知水平和实际知识水平进行了调查。在美国东南部一家拥有62张床位的农村急症护理医院工作的注册护士（n = 32）构成了一个便利样本。使用糖尿病自我报告工具来评估注册护士对糖尿病知识的认知。采用李克特量表，在糖尿病知识认知方面获得的平均得分为88%。使用糖尿病基础知识测试来衡量糖尿病的实际知识水平。在糖尿病基础知识测试中获得的平均得分为75%。护士的知识认知与实际知识得分无关。研究结果给参与员工发展的护士提出了有关糖尿病管理领域护理能力验证充分性的问题。
