医院的护理越来越多地涉及老年人。因此，能够照顾老龄化人口的护理队伍对于确保高质量的老年人护理至关重要。需要深入了解荷兰护士对老年患者的知识和态度，以制定和增加教育和质量改进计划的影响，这些项目可以积极影响护士对老年患者的知识和态度。进行了一项横断面多中心研究。数据收集于遍布荷兰的 10 家三级医学教学医院（89 个病房，2902 名护士）。使用老年患者知识测验 (KOP-Q) 来衡量知识水平，该测验由 30 个真假问题组成。将注册护士的知识水平与一年级护生的知识水平进行比较；去年护理学生；护士；和护士专家。考虑的潜在相关因素包括：年龄；性别;教育;经验;意见和偏好。关于与老年患者一起工作的意见和偏好通过三个问题来衡量：1）护士组更喜欢与哪些患者一起工作； 2）护士对医院老年患者的增加有何感受； 3) 护士是否觉得照顾老年患者有困难。来自所有病房的 89 个病房的 1743 名注册护士代表参加了调查。在所有病房，护士之间的知识水平存在很大差异，37% 的护士的知识水平与护生相当，31% 的护士的知识水平与护士专家相当。知识与年龄 (p < .001)、工作经验 (p < .001)、预科教育 (p < .001) 和护士教育水平 (p = .012) 相关。少数人（12.5%）更喜欢与老年患者一起工作，大多数护士并不觉得这很困难。这项研究表明，荷兰每家医院、每个病房的护士的知识水平存在很大差异。大多数护士表现出负面的意见和偏好。这意味着，由于具有不同知识水平的护士在不同的轮班期间提供护理，入院的老年患者可以在同一天接受不同水平的护理质量。研究结果表明，荷兰迫切需要以老年患者基本护理为主题的教育计划。在线版本包含可在 10.1186/s12912-021-00604-4 获取的补充材料。
Nursing care in hospitals increasingly involves older adults. A nursing workforce able to care for the ageing population is therefore critical for ensuring quality older adult care. Gaining insight in the knowledge and attitudes of nurses regarding older patients in the Netherlands is needed to develop and increase the impact of education- and quality improvement programs which can positively influence nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding older patients. A cross-sectional multicenter study was performed. Data was collected in ten tertiary medical teaching hospitals well spread across the Netherlands (89 wards, 2902 nurses). Knowledge levels were measured using the Knowledge about Older Patient-Quiz (KOP-Q), consisting of 30 true-false questions. Knowledge levels of registered nurses are compared with knowledge levels known from literature of first year nursing students; last year nursing students; nurses; and nurse specialist. Potential associated factors considered were: age; sex; education; experience; opinions and preferences. Opinion and preferences regarding working with older patients were measured by three questions: 1) which patient group nurses preferred to work with; 2) how nurses feel about the increase of older patients in the hospital; and 3) whether nurses find it difficult to care for older patients. From all wards, a representative sample of 1743 registered hospital nurses working on all 89 wards participated. On all wards, a large range in knowledge levels is observed between nurses, with 37% of nurses presenting knowledge levels comparable with nursing student and 31% of nurses presenting knowledge levels comparable with nurse specialists. Knowledge is related to age (p < .001), work experiences (p < .001), preparatory secondary education (p < .001) and nurses education level (p = .012). A minority (12.5%) prefers working with older patients and most nurses do not find it difficult. This study shows that there is a large diversity in knowledge levels of Dutch hospital nurses in every hospital, on every ward. A majority of nurses demonstrate negative opinions and preferences. This implies that older patients admitted can receive different levels of quality of care on the same day as nurses with different knowledge levels provide care during the various shifts. Findings demonstrate an urgent need for education programs with themes regarding essential care for older patients in the Netherlands.
