Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Professionals
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Nursing impairment poses risks to patient safety and healthcare quality.
  • Understanding nurses' perceptions is crucial for developing effective interventions.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the multidimensional nature of these attitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine registered nurses' perceptions and attitudes toward nursing impairment.
  • To identify the underlying dimensions of attitudes toward nursing impairment.
  • To compare attitudes between supervisors and staff nurses regarding impairment management.

Main Methods:

  • Survey questionnaire with 32 Likert-type items administered to 1,047 registered nurses.
  • Factor analysis to determine the structure of attitudes toward nursing impairment.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyses of variance and covariance to compare groups and identify significant differences.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis revealed nine distinct dimensions characterizing attitudes toward nursing impairment.
    • Supervisors were more inclined than staff nurses to advocate for disciplinary action.
    • Staff nurses were more likely to view nursing impairment as a treatable condition.
    • Attitudes differed significantly based on the type of impairment (drug abuse, alcohol abuse, emotional distress).

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing attitudes toward impairment are complex and multidimensional.
    • Discrepancies exist between supervisors and staff nurses in managing impaired nurses.
    • Tailored interventions are needed to address diverse attitudes toward different forms of nursing impairment.
