Aims/Background:
The adoption of standardized nursing terminology (SNT) is crucial for ensuring efficient information delivery and data sharing among nursing staff, as well as effective nursing care. This study aims to assess nurses' Knowledge-Attitude-Practice regarding SNT, and identify key influencing factors of SNT application.
Methods:
This study involves the development of a questionnaire for a survey based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) model, combined with literature research and Delphi method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 515 nursing staff from 26 departments.
Results:
The resulting questionnaire consisted of 29 items, with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.959. The scores for Knowledge-Attitude-Practice of nurses toward SNT were 12.73 ± 4.61, 35.05 ± 5.70, and 31.72 ± 9.93, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the position title, education level and years of work were independent influencing factors of the SNT levels among the surveyed nurses. The three most frequently mentioned barriers by nursing staff were increased workload, insufficient support from information systems, and a lack of nursing informatics professionals.
Conclusion:
This study indicates that nursing staff hold positive attitudes toward SNT, but their awareness and practical application remain insufficient. Strengthening competency-based training and urgently optimizing nursing information systems are therefore necessary.
