Potential profile analysis and influencing factors of nurses'advocacy behaviors
Objective To analyze the potential categories and influencing factors of nurses'advocacy behaviors.Methods A survey of 2,300 working nurses in eight tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province was conducted using the Advocacy Behavior Scale,the Transformational Leadership Scale,and the Organizational Commitment Scale.Three models of potential categories of nurses'advocacy behaviors were established using latent profile analysis,and logistic regression analyses were used to explore the factors influencing the potential categories of nurses'advo-cacy behaviors.Results Nurses'level of advocacy behaviors could be classified into three potential categories,including highly inhibitire-nega-tive constructive group(22.65%),highly facilitative-moderate level constructive group(61.30%),and highly facilitative-positive constructive group(16.04%).Multivariate Logistic regression analyses revealed significant differences in the advocacy behavior of nurses with different length of service,job title,form of employment,transformational leadership and level of organizational commitment(P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Conclusion Nurses'advocacy behaviors were at a moderately high level and could be classified into 3 potential categories.There are many factors affecting the potential categories of their advocacy behavior,and nursing managers could target interventions to improve nurses'advoca-cy behavior by addressing the related influencing factors.
