Abstract

Background: To evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of nurses regarding non-pharmacologic therapies for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).

Methods: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study enrolled nurses at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (Beijing, China) between September 2022 and October 2022. Correlations between knowledge, attitude and practice scores were evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Factors associated with knowledge, attitude and practice scores were identified by multivariable linear regression. Based on a cross-sectional questionnaire survey, this study designed a questionnaire according to the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia in China, and randomly selected nurses from Peking Union Medical College Hospital to fill in the questions through the Wen-Juan-Xing online platform from September 2022 to October 2022.

Results: The analysis included 210 nurses (202 females). The average knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 11.06±2.61 (total score: 18), 53.51±5.81 (total score: 60) and 64.66 ± 10.35 (total score: 80) points, respectively. Knowledge score was positively correlated with attitude score (r = 0.416, P < 0.001) and practice score (r = 0.389, P < 0.001); attitude and practice scores were also positively correlated (r = 0.627, P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that age ≥ 40 years-old (vs. ≤30 years-old) was associated with higher knowledge score (β = 1.48, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 0.42-2.54, P = 0.006). Age ≥ 40 years-old (β = 1.43, 95%CI = 0.35-2.51, P = 0.010 vs. ≤30 years-old) and bachelor's degree or higher (β = 1.11, 95%CI = 0.12-2.10, P = 0.028 vs. college degree or lower) were associated with higher practice score.

Conclusions: Older age and higher education level were associated with higher knowledge, attitude and/or practice scores. The findings of this study may help guide the development and implementation of education and training programs to improve the management of BPSD by nurses in China.

护士对痴呆症行为和心理症状的非药物干预措施的认识、态度和实践。

背景：评估护士对痴呆症行为和心理症状（BPSD）非药物疗法的认识、态度和实践：目的：评估护士对痴呆行为和心理症状（BPSD）非药物疗法的认知、态度和实践：这项横断面问卷调查研究于 2022 年 9 月至 2022 年 10 月间在中国协和医科大学附属北京协和医院（中国北京）招募护士。通过皮尔逊相关分析评估了知识、态度和实践得分之间的相关性。通过多变量线性回归确定了与知识、态度和实践得分相关的因素。在横断面问卷调查的基础上，本研究根据《中国老年痴呆诊断与治疗指南》设计问卷，随机抽取北京协和医院的护士于2022年9月至2022年10月通过文娟星网络平台填写问卷：分析包括 210 名护士（202 名女性）。知识、态度和实践的平均得分分别为（11.06±2.61）分（总分：18）、（53.51±5.81）分（总分：60）分和（64.66±10.35）分（总分：80）分。知识得分与态度得分呈正相关（r = 0.416，P 结论：知识得分与态度得分呈正相关：年龄越大、教育程度越高，知识、态度和/或实践得分越高。本研究的结果可能有助于指导教育和培训计划的制定和实施，以改善中国护士对 BPSD 的管理。
