عنوان انگلیسی Knowledge and Attitude Towards the Care for Self-Harming Adolescents and the Related Factors in Emergency Department Nurses from Northern Iran
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله
Introduction: Self-harm is a serious health concern, and is relatively common among adolescents. The quality of service delivery to self-harming patients is related to the knowledge and attitude of nurses.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the knowledge and attitude of emergency department (ED) nurses from northern Iran regarding the care of self-harming adolescents and find the related factors.
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 208 ED nurses with over 6 months of work experience in the ED of hospitals in Rasht, Iran. They were selected using a census sampling method. The data collection tool was a three-part questionnaire including a sociodemographic form, the Attitudes Towards Deliberate Self-Harm Questionnaire (ADSHQ), and Letho et al.’s knowledge scale. The collected data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann-Whitney U test, multiple linear regression analysis,, and the Spearman correlation test.
Results: The mean age of the nurses was 34.8 ± 7.8 years, and the majority of them were female (90.9%) with a bachelor’s degree (88.5%). The mean total score of knowledge was 0.67 ± 0.12. Nurses’ attitudes were mostly positive, and the total ADSHQ score was 3.59 ± 0.28. The ADSHQ score was significantly different based on nurses’ age (p=0.030) and experience in caring for self-harming adolescents (p=0.033). The ADSHQ score had a positive correlation with the knowledge score (r=0.252, p=0.001). The knowledge score was significantly different based on marital status (P= 0.042) and experience in caring for self-harming adolescents (P=0.016).
Conclusion: Nurses' knowledge in caring of the intentional self-harm adolescents was moderate and their attitude towards these adolescents was positive. In the EDs, it is recommended that nurses with experience dealing with self-harming adolescents be employed. Also, retraining programs should be provided to ED nurses to improve their knowledge and positive attitudes towards caring for self-harming adolescents, focusing on increasing empathy and perceived confidence.
