ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the level and influencing factors of the humanistic care ability (HCA) in nursing aides, thus providing a baseline for its improvement.METHODS:
This study investigated 302 nursing aides in six long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Suzhou between December 2021 and June 2022 by convenience sampling. A descriptive questionnaire and the Caring Ability Inventory were applied in this study.RESULTS:
The HCA was at a low level, and its influencing factors were education level, marital status, personality, reason for employment, and the degree of perceived care from colleagues (p<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Nursing aides' HCA needs to be strengthened urgently. Nursing aides with poor education, widowed, single, and an introversion type of personality should receive more attention. Additionally, creating a warm atmosphere among colleagues and cultivating the nursing aides' motivation for eldercare will help improve their HCA.Palavras-chave
