Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the status quo of nurses' practice environment in Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Sichuan Province and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for optimizing the practice environment of nurses.
MethodsThis study was a cross-sectional study. Using the convenient sampling method, from April to September 2019, a total of 6 320 nurses from 21 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Sichuan Province were selected as the research objects. An online survey of nurses was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire and the Revised Nurse Practice Environment Assessment Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' practice environment. A total of 6 320 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 6 180 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.78%.
ResultsThe total score of Revised Nurse Practice Environment Assessment Scale for 6 180 nurses was (70.85±18.69) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, education level, professional title, working years, and whether it was an only child were the influencing factors of the nurse's practice environment (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe overall level of nurses' practice environment in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Sichuan Province is in the middle. Nursing managers should encourage nurses to actively participate in hospital management, optimize the allocation of human resources, establish a scientific and reasonable salary distribution system, pay attention to the characteristics of special groups of nurses and further build a good nurse practice environment.
