摘要

目的:姑息治疗是一种改善患者生活质量的干预措施。护士在提供姑息治疗方面起着主要作用。他们对姑息治疗的知识和态度在护理提供中很重要。在斯里兰卡,记录护士对姑息治疗的知识和态度的信息很少。因此,本研究旨在评估斯里兰卡护士对姑息治疗的知识和态度。方法:对斯里兰卡科伦坡北教学医院200名符合纳入标准的护士进行横断面描述性研究。研究参与者的社会人口学信息通过自我管理的问卷获得。分别采用姑息治疗知识测验(PCKT)和Frommelt临终关怀态度量表(attitude to The Dying Care)对临终关怀的认知水平和态度水平进行评估。结果:超过一半(55%)的参与者对姑息治疗的知识水平不足(P = 0.04;或= 3.57;CI = 1.03-12.41)和工作设置(P 10年工作经验对积极态度有统计学意义(P = 0.02;or = 1.35;ci = 1.13-5.50)。结论:护理人员对PC的认知不足,但态度积极。因此,必须提高卫生工作者的认识水平。这保证了在护理课程和持续的专业发展中需要姑息治疗教育。

Assessment of Knowledge and Attitude Towards the Palliative Care Among Nurses in Sri Lanka: A Hospital-Based Study.

Objective: Palliative care is an intervention that improves the quality of life of patients. Nurses have a primary role in providing palliative care. Their knowledge and attitudes toward palliative care is important in care delivery. There is minimal information in Sri Lanka to document the knowledge and attitude of palliative care among nurses. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of palliative care among nurses in Sri Lanka. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted on 200 selected nurses at Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Socio-demographic information of the study participants was obtained through a self-administered questionnaire. The awareness and attitude levels toward the PC were assessed using the Palliative Care Knowledge Test (PCKT) and Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying, respectively. Results: More than half of the participants (55%) had an inadequate knowledge level regarding the palliative care (<50% for the PCKT score). Regarding the attitude on the palliative care, the majority stated nursing care to a dying person is a worthwhile experience (92%; n  =  184). Many of them disagreed with avoiding the care of dying patients (strongly disagree: 37%; n  =  74, disagree: 52.5%; n  =  105). Overall, 85.5% of study participants had a positive attitude towards the palliative care. According to binary logistic regression, gender (P  =  .04; OR = 3.57; CI  =  1.03-12.41) and working setup (P < .001) were significantly associated with having a positive attitude. The knowledge level was higher among nurses working in surgical wards (OR = 7.84). Those with >10 years of experience were statistically significant to have a positive attitude (P  =  .02; OR = 1.35; CI  =  1.13-5.50). Conclusion: The nurses had inadequate knowledge of the PC even though they had a positive attitude toward it. Therefore, it is essential to uplift the awareness level among health workers. This warrants the need for palliative care education in the nursing curriculum and continuous professional development.
