Investigation on oncology nurses'knowledge,attitude,and practice toward chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
Objective To explore oncology nurses'knowledge,attitude,and practice(KAP)toward chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV).Methods Using a convenience sampling method,from July 21,2021 to August 31,2021,a questionnaire survey was conducted on 218 oncology nurses from 3 third-class A hospitals in Guangdong Province(Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center,Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital,and Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital).The questionnaire included general demographic data(hospital nature,gender,age,educational background,professional title,and working years)and scores of knowledge,attitude,and practice toward CINV.Independent sample t test and F test were used.Results The results of oncology nurses'knowledge,attitude,and practice toward CINV showed that working years were related to nurses'CINV knowledge score,whether they had received CINV-related education was related to nurses'CINV knowledge and practice scores,and age and professional title were related to nurses'CINV attitude score,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).The knowledge score of oncology nurses toward CINV was(7.75±3.11),the attitude score was(34.40±4.07),and the practice score was(36.11±8.73).Conclusions Nurses'knowledge and practice toward CINV need to be improved.We should encourage and promote nurses to use international guidelines to guide CINV assessment and nursing practice to provide a favorable basis for the construction of scientific CINV curriculum and practice training system.
