Abstract

Introduction: Control over nursing practice is crucial for improved quality of life for nursing home (NH) residents. Nevertheless, little is known about the association of nurses’ demographic data with their perceived control over nursing practice in Jordan and beyond. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the differences in nurses’ levels of perceived control over nursing practice based on their demographic characteristics. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 163 nurses caring for NH residents. Nurses’ perceived control over nursing practice was measured by the Control Over Nursing Practice (CONP) scale. Results: The participating nurses were found to have low levels of perceived control over nursing practice which varied between the nurse groups according to gender, level of experience, and type of NHs. Discussion/Conclusion: This study is the first quantitative study to examine association between nurses’ demographic characteristics, such as age or years of nursing experience, and their perceived control over nursing practice. Despite the preliminary findings of this study, the findings of this study provide a better understanding of the impact of nurses’ sociodemographic and professional characteristics on their levels of perceived control over nursing practice.

导言:控制护理实践是至关重要的，以提高生活质量的养老院(NH)居民。然而，很少有人知道护士的人口统计数据与他们的感知控制护理实践在约旦和超越的关联。因此，本研究旨在调查护士在人口统计学特征的基础上对护理实践的感知控制水平的差异。方法:本描述性相关研究采用方便抽样163名护理住院病人的护士进行。采用护理实践控制量表(CONP)测量护士对护理实践的感知控制。结果:参与的护士对护理实践的感知控制水平较低，根据性别、经验水平和NHs类型，护士组之间存在差异。讨论/结论:本研究是第一个定量研究护士人口统计学特征(如年龄或护理经验)与他们对护理实践的感知控制之间关系的研究。尽管本研究的初步发现，本研究的结果提供了一个更好的理解护士的社会人口学和专业特征的影响，对护理实践的感知控制水平。
