Title: A survey on cognition and attitude of teamwork in pre-practice period of nursing students in higher vocational colleges and an analysis of influencing factors

Abstract:

Purpose: To investigate the current status of cognitive and attitudinal cooperation among vocational nursing students who are about to enter clinical internships, and to analyze influencing factors. This study aims to provide a reference for developing policies to enhance the cooperation capabilities of intern nursing student teams for vocational nursing schools and internship hospitals, with the goal of conducting training courses related to teamwork to help improve the cognitive and attitudinal aspects of teamwork for nursing students in the early stage of clinical practice, while also promoting patient safety.

Method: Using cluster sampling, 207 nursing students about to enter clinical internships from two vocational nursing schools in Shanghai were selected as the research subjects, and a Chinese version of the questionnaire on teamwork cognition and attitude was used to conduct the survey on this group of nursing students.

Results: The scores for cognitive and attitudinal cooperation of the 207 nursing students were (141.08±17.18) and (119.36±16.06) respectively, and there was a significant positive correlation between cognitive and attitudinal cooperation (P<0.01). Differences in cognitive and attitudinal cooperation scores among vocational nursing student teams based on different genders, ages, positions, and internship experiences were statistically significant (P<0.05), while internship experience had no effect on the cognitive and attitudinal cooperation of vocational nursing student teams. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between cognitive and attitudinal cooperation (r=0.654, P<0.01), and significant positive correlations were found between the various dimensions of cognitive cooperation and attitudinal cooperation (P<0.01).

Conclusion: The cognitive and attitudinal cooperation of vocational nursing student teams are at a moderate level, and nursing school and internship hospital managers should focus on building team culture and explore the application of targeted teamwork training to enhance their levels of cognitive and attitudinal cooperation.
