Abstract
ObjectiveTo understand the knowledge of influenza among inpatients before health education and intervention using the sensitive indicators in nursing outcomes.
MethodsUsing convenience sampling method, 400 inpatients from November 2018 to February 2019 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected as the research objects. Referring to the two outcomes indicators of "knowledge: disease process" and "knowledge: control of infection" in the Classification System of Nursing Outcomes, a Knowledge Questionnaire on Influenza Susceptibility Indicators of Inpatients was developed to investigate and analyze influenza sensitive indicators. A total of 392 valid questionnaires were collected.
ResultsThe 392 patients' scoring rate of Knowledge Questionnaire on Influenza Susceptibility Indicators of Inpatients was 48.1%. There was no significant difference in Knowledge Questionnaire on Influenza Susceptibility Indicators of Inpatients scores among patients of different ages, gender, educational background, living environment and occupation (P>0.05) , all of them had low scores. In the single analysis, there were statistically significant differences in the scores of "influenza symptoms and signs" among patients of different ages, gender, educational background, living environment and occupations (P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the knowledge of "influenza transmission mode" among patients living in different environments (P<0.05) . Compared with the two dimensions of "disease process" and "infection control", the score of "disease process" was higher than that of "infection control", and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) .
ConclusionsThe situation of understanding sensitive indicators of flu in the inpatients is not very well, the evaluation based on nursing outcome sensitive indicators can help medical staff to understand the inpatients' real status on flu-related knowledge, self-protection awareness, and behaviour and to provide reference of the following health education and prevention management.
