Investigation and analysis of infectious disease emergency response capabilities and influencing factors of nurses in fever clinics of tertiary general hospitals
Objective To explore the infectious disease emergency response capabilities and influencing factors of nurses from fever clinics of 14 tertiary general hospitals in Suzhou,aim to provide reference and basis for human resources management in response to infectious disease emergencies.Methods A total of 217 nurses from fever clinics of 14 tertiary general hospitals in Suzhou from April to May in 2022 were selected as survey subjects.A survey was conducted using the"Questionnaire on the Emergency Response Capability of Medical Staff to Infectious Disease Emergencies".Results The emergency response capability score of 217 fever clinic nurses for infectious disease emergencies was 143.52±24.41.The differences were statistically significant in emergency response capability scores among fever clinic nurses,based on their educational background,participation in other emergency events(including disasters or accidents such as earthquakes,fires,etc.),the frequency of training on common infectious diseases or emerging infectious diseases in the past five years,and the frequency of emergency drills for infectious disease emergencies(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the educational backgrounds,frequencies of emergency drills,frequency of training and rescue experience were the main factors influencing the emergency response capability of nurses during infectious disease emergencies.Conclusion The infectious disease emergency response capabilities of nurses form fever clinics of 14 tertiary general hospitals in Suzhou was at a medium level.The fever clinics nurses with different educational backgrounds,frequencies of emergency drills,training frequencies,and rescue experiences have different emergency response capabilities during infectious disease emergencies.Therefore,targeted training should be conducted,and differentiated assessment standards should be adopted to achieve optimal training effect,so as to improve the nurses'awareness of and ability to respond to emergency events.
