摘要
背景与目的在伊拉克埃尔比勒,急诊护士在专业实践中经常遇到复杂的法律问题,影响了她们的知识、态度和对法律事务的干预。本研究旨在分析埃尔比勒急诊护士的法律知识水平、对法律问题的态度以及法律干预的程度。方法于2024年1月1日至2月5日在埃尔比勒8家主要公立医院进行横断面研究。采用目的性抽样,采用综合性问卷收集数据。问卷包括人口统计信息和急诊护理法律问题评估量表(ENLIAS),该量表测量法律知识、对法律问题的态度和对法律事务的干预。使用Stata version 12 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX)进行统计分析。采用Pearson相关分析和多元线性回归来评估法律知识、态度、对法律问题的干预和人口变量之间的相关性。结果共有254名急诊护士参与研究。法律知识平均得分为6.00±3.25分,知识水平一般。对法律问题的态度平均得分为5.35±2.08,也处于中等水平。对法律问题的干扰平均得分为24.69±5.16,为中等干扰。法律知识与良好的态度之间存在显著的正相关(r = 0.47, p < 0.001),表明更高的法律知识与更积极的法律问题态度相关。相反,法律知识与对法律问题的干预之间存在显著的负相关(r = - 0.55, p < 0.001),表明法律知识越多,对法律事务的干预越少。结论埃尔比勒急诊护士的法律知识水平和对待法律问题的态度处于中等水平,对法律事务的干预程度处于中等水平。决策者和卫生保健提供者应制定有针对性的教育干预措施,以提高法律素养,并支持护士有效管理法律问题。
Knowledge and Attitude of Emergency Nurses Regarding Work-Related Legal Issues in Erbil Hospitals: A Cross-Sectional Study, 2023–2024
Background and Aim
In Erbil, Iraq, emergency nurses frequently encounter complex legal issues in their professional practice, impacting their knowledge, attitudes, and interference with legal matters. This study aimed to analyze the level of legal knowledge, attitudes toward legal issues, and the extent of legal interference among emergency nurses in Erbil.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to February 5, 2024, in eight major public hospitals in Erbil. Purposive sampling was used to collect data using a comprehensive questionnaire. The questionnaire included demographic information and the Emergency Nursing Legal Issues Assessment Scale (ENLIAS), which measured legal knowledge, attitudes toward legal issues, and interference with legal matters. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata version 12 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX). Pearson correlation analyses and multiple linear regression were conducted to assess the correlations between legal knowledge, attitudes, interference with legal issues, and demographic variables.
Results
A total of 254 emergency nurses participated in the study. The mean score for legal knowledge was 6.00 ± 3.25, indicating a moderate level of knowledge. The mean score for attitudes toward legal issues was 5.35 ± 2.08, also reflecting a moderate level. The mean score for interference with legal issues was 24.69 ± 5.16, indicating medium interference. There was a significant positive correlation between legal knowledge and good attitude (r = 0.47, p < 0.001), suggesting that higher legal knowledge is associated with a more positive attitude toward legal issues. Conversely, there was a significant negative correlation between legal knowledge and interference with legal issues (r = −0.55, p < 0.001), indicating that greater legal knowledge is associated with lower interference in legal matters.
Conclusions
The study demonstrated that emergency nurses in Erbil have moderate levels of legal knowledge and attitudes toward legal issues, with medium levels of interference in legal matters. Policymakers and healthcare providers should develop targeted educational interventions to enhance legal literacy and support nurses in effectively managing legal issues.
