摘要
背景:近年来,波兰人出国旅游的趋势越来越明显。护士可以在教育病人有关旅行医学预防原则等方面发挥重要作用。本研究的目的是调查波兰护士对潜在旅行医学培训的知识、能力水平的自我评估和态度。材料和方法:采用一份专用问卷进行横断面调查,问卷中除护士对旅行医学知识的了解情况外,还包括对该领域潜在研究生培训的态度。这项调查是在医院、初级保健诊所和专科诊所的护士中进行的。结果:共有137名护士参与调查。具有专业或完成过各类专业课程或培训的受访者对旅行医学的知识水平明显高于其他受访者。年龄(H = 3.51, p = 0.476)、工作年限(H = 9.291, p = 0.054)、学历(H = 1.479, p = 0.477)、工作地点(H = 2.315, p = 0.678)对被调查者的旅行医学知识没有差异。据观察,护士对计划出国旅行的孕妇的免疫接种和欧洲健康保险卡规则的了解程度不足。大多数答复者认为,他们没有接受足够的培训,无法为旅行患者提供护理。结论:鉴于旅游发展的动态步伐和波兰人旅游机会的增加,应提供旅游医学护理专业研究生培训,以提高安全旅游原则的知识和能力。这可以转化为增加有效教育患者和为他们提供专业护理的机会。
Knowledge, self-assessment of competence and attitudes toward postgraduate training in travel medicine among Polish nurses: a cross-sectional study.
Background: In recent years, there has been a growing trend of world travel among Poles. Nurses can play a significant role in educating patients about, among other things, the principles of prevention related to travel medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, self-assessment of the level of competence and attitudes toward potential travel medicine training among Polish nurses.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional survey was implemented using a proprietary questionnaire, that, in addition to questions on nurses' knowledge of travel medicine, included questions on attitudes toward potential postgraduate training in this field. The survey was conducted among nurses from hospitals, primary care clinics and specialty clinics.
Results: One hundred thirty-seven nurses participated in the survey. Respondents with a specialty or those who had completed various types of specialty courses or training had significantly higher levels of knowledge in travel medicine than other respondents. Age (H = 3.51; p = 0.476), length of service (H = 9.291; p = 0.054), educational level (H = 1.479; p = 0.477) and place of employment (H = 2.315; p = 0.678) did not differentiate respondents' travel medicine knowledge. An inadequate level of nurses' knowledge of immunizations for pregnant women planning to travel abroad and the rules of the European Health Insurance Card was observed. The majority of respondents believe that they do not have adequate training to provide care to travel patients.
Conclusions: Given the dynamic pace of tourism development and the increased travel opportunities for Poles, postgraduate training for the nursing profession in travel medicine to increase knowledge and competence in the principles of safe travel should be available. This could translate into increased opportunities to effectively educate patients and provide professional care for them.
