UNASSIGNED: An anonymous pre-validated, structured questionnaire was used as the study tool among 233 female nursing personnel of primary, secondary, and tertiary care health facilities. Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between level of knowledge with level of health care and other demographic variables.
UNASSIGNED: The nursing staff of the tertiary care health facility demonstrated significantly higher knowledge compared to those working at primary and secondary levels [adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 11.01 (3.80-32.40)]. At tertiary care, the practices of the nursing professionals were not found significantly associated with any socio-demographic variable including age, marital status, or level of health care facility.
UNASSIGNED: The overall knowledge of cervical cancer was poor, especially among staff nurses at primary and secondary levels of health care. In order to implement a successful population-based screening program in India, it is important to update the nursing curriculum and start in-service trainings at primary and secondary levels of health care facilities.
■匿名预验证,以结构化问卷为研究工具,对233名基层女性护理人员进行了问卷调查,次要,和三级保健保健设施。进行了多元逻辑回归以确定知识水平与医疗保健水平和其他人口统计学变量之间的关联。
三级医疗机构的护理人员的知识水平明显高于初级和中级工作的护理人员[调整比值比(95%置信区间)11.01(3.80-32.40)]。在三级护理中,没有发现护理专业人员的做法与任何社会人口统计学变量(包括年龄)显著相关,婚姻状况,或卫生保健设施的水平。
■对宫颈癌的总体认识很差,特别是在初级和中级卫生保健的工作人员护士中。为了在印度实施成功的基于人群的筛查计划,重要的是更新护理课程,并在初级和中级卫生保健设施开始在职培训。
