Investigation on Knowledge-Attitude-Practice of Thunder-Fire Moxibustion among Nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals in Hunan Province and Analysis of Its Influencing Factors
Objective:To understand the current status and influencing factors of knowledge-attitude-practice regarding thunder-fire moxibustion technique among nurses in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in Hunan province,and to provide a basis for formulating and improving the operation standard of thunder-fire moxibustion and promoting the inheritance and development of thunder-fire moxibustion technology.Methods:A self-adminis-tered questionnaire was used to survey the nursing staff of 15 Chinese hospitals in Hunan province.The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression.Results:The nurses in this group of Chinese medicine hospitals had scores of thunder-fire moxibustion technique knowledge(28.75±11.45),thunder-fire moxibustion technique attitude(42.21±5.59),and thunder-fire moxibustion technique practice(50.16±10.54).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that years of working experience,form of employment,professional background,whether or not they had received systematic training in Chinese medicine knowledge,and whether or not the department had a self-developed code of practice for lightning and moxibustion were the factors influencing the knowledge of lightning and moxibustion techniques(P<0.05).Monthly income,hospital level,and whether or not the department had a self-developed code of practice for lightning and moxibustion were the factors influencing the attitude towards lightning and moxibustion techniques(P<0.05).Hospital level,years of working experience,whether they had received systematic training in Chinese medicine knowledge and whether the department had self-developed operation specification for thunder fire moxibustion were factors influencing the behavior of thunder fire moxibustion technique(P<0.05).Conclusion:Nurses in Chinese medicine hospitals in Hunan province have positive attitudes toward learning thunderbolt moxibustion technology,but their knowledge level needs to be improved,and the operational skills of thunderbolt moxibustion technology are not sufficiently utilized,and the operational specifications of thunder-fire moxibustion technology should be further improved in the future,so as to provide lessons and references for the popularization and application of thunder-fire moxibustion technology.
