Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate factors associated with nurses' self-efficacy in oral care among infection-sensitive patients in a university hospital.

Material and methods: All the nurses working in five wards of internal medicine and one department of oncology at Oulu University Hospital, Finland (n = 114) were recruited. Data were collected with a questionnaire containing 10 self-efficacy items (scored 0 to 10) and nine knowledge items (five-point Likert scale) that were validated in an earlier pilot study. Factor analysis was performed for the self-efficacy scale and a mean score was calculated for the knowledge scale. A multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the association between explanatory variables and self-efficacy factor scores.

Results: Factor analysis revealed self-efficacy factors: Practical skills, Self-confidence in taking care of patients' oral hygiene, and Confidence in detecting oral problems (factor scores varied between 4.9 and 8.8). A higher mean score for the knowledge scale was positively associated with the factor Practical skills (B = 0.5, p < 0.05). Longer working experience was associated with higher factor scores in Self-confidence in taking care of patients` oral hygiene and Confidence in detecting oral problems.

Conclusions: Better oral health-related knowledge and longer working experience were positively associated with oral health-related self-efficacy.

芬兰奥卢大学医院护士口腔护理自我效能的相关因素。

研究目的本研究旨在调查与一所大学医院中对感染敏感的患者的口腔护理相关的护士自我效能因素：招募了芬兰奥卢大学医院五个内科病房和一个肿瘤科的所有护士（n = 114）。问卷包含 10 个自我效能项目（0 至 10 分）和 9 个知识项目（五点李克特量表），这些项目已在早前的试点研究中得到验证。对自我效能量表进行了因子分析，对知识量表计算了平均分。使用多变量线性回归模型分析了解释变量与自我效能因子得分之间的关系：结果：因子分析揭示了自我效能因子：结果：因子分析显示了自我效能因子：实践技能、照顾患者口腔卫生的自信心和发现口腔问题的信心（因子得分介于 4.9 和 8.8 之间）。知识量表的平均分越高，与实践技能因子呈正相关（B = 0.5，p 结论：知识量表的平均分越高，与实践技能因子呈正相关：更好的口腔健康相关知识和更长的工作经验与口腔健康相关自我效能呈正相关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
