Aim:
To evaluate nurses' perceptions of organisational support for a hospital-wide diabetes nursing team system, examine differences across nursing roles and departments, and investigate the associations of perceived organisational support with nurses' self-assessed diabetes knowledge and willingness to engage in further diabetes-related training.
Design:
A cross-sectional study.
Methods:
Registered nurses from endocrinology and non-endocrinology departments across three sites of a tertiary hospital group in China were recruited through a hospital-wide online survey. Organisational support was assessed using a structured instrument covering five domains of the diabetes nursing team system, together with measures of self-assessed diabetes knowledge and willingness to engage in further training. A total of 337 nurses were included. Descriptive analyses, subgroup comparisons, correlation analyses and multivariable ordinal logistic regression were performed.
Results:
Nurses reported generally high levels of perceived organisational support for the diabetes nursing team system. Diabetes liaison nurses reported higher perceived training and competency support than non-liaison nurses, whereas overall organisational support, self-assessed knowledge and learning willingness were similar between endocrinology and non-endocrinology nurses. Greater perceived training and competency support and professional development support were independently associated with stronger willingness to engage in further diabetes-related training. Individual professional characteristics were not independently associated with learning willingness after adjustment.
Conclusion:
Perceived organisational support for training and professional development was associated with nurses' willingness to engage in further diabetes-related training. Strengthening these organisational components may support continuing professional development within hospital-wide diabetes nursing systems.
Implications For The Profession And/Or Patient Care:
Nursing managers should consider accessible training, competency support and professional development opportunities as part of hospital-wide strategies to strengthen nurses' capacity for diabetes care across specialist and non-specialist departments.
Impact:
The findings highlight organisational conditions that may support continued learning within hospital-wide diabetes nursing systems. They may inform nursing management strategies for workforce development in settings where diabetes care extends across multiple clinical departments.
Reporting Method:
The study is reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
No patient or public contribution.
