- Nursing Education
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- Rising demand for health services due to an aging population and increased health awareness.
- Shortage of medical and healthcare professionals, particularly nursing staff, in China.
- Multi-site practice emerges as a potential strategy to address nursing resource deficits.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess nursing students' awareness and knowledge of multi-site practice.
- To investigate nursing students' willingness and motivations for engaging in multi-site practice.
- To identify potential barriers influencing nursing students' participation in multi-site practice.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study conducted across eight provinces in China.
- Online survey administered to 1014 nursing students between October and November 2021.
- Data collected on knowledge, willingness, motivations, and perceived barriers related to multi-site practice.
Main Results:
- 75.25% of nursing students supported multi-site practice, and 53.75% expressed willingness to participate.
- Educational institutions were the primary source of information (61.74%) about multi-site practice.
- A significant portion of students lacked comprehensive understanding, indicating a need for improved awareness.
Conclusions:
- Nursing students exhibit positive attitudes and willingness towards multi-site practice.
- Enhancing awareness and developing standardized training systems are crucial for effective implementation.
