Abstract:
Objectives: Through the method of meta-analysis, the status quo and influencing factors of nursing staff's attitude towards family participatory nursing were clarified and summarized.
Methods: Computer searches were conducted on Pubmed, Web of Science, EBSCO, The Cochrane Library, CIHANL, psycINFO, CNKI, and WanFang database), a cross-sectional study on the status quo and influencing factors of caregivers' attitudes toward family participatory nursing. The search period was established until April 1, 2024. Stata18.0 software was used for meta-analysis.
Results: A total of 20 cross-sectional studies were included, involving 6453 nurses from 11 countries. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the nurses' attitude towards family participatory nursing was 86.93 points [95%CI (83.75, 90.11)], and the nurses had a positive attitude towards this model. Age, gender, education, years of work, workplace, and whether they had participated in family participation training courses/education were the main influencing factors of nursing staff's attitude towards family participation nursing (P < 0.05). The results of the meta-analysis showed that the patients were over 50 years old (ES=80.58, 95%CI: 79.48~81.66), female (ES=86.77, 95%CI: 74.62~98.93), and had a master's degree or above (ES=91.64, 95%CI: 84.16, 99.33), worked in other medical institutions (ES=88.96, 95%CI: 80.95, 96.97), worked for less than 15 years (ES=74.08, 95%CI: 59.85, 88.32), participated in family participatory nursing training courses (ES=92.15, 95%CI: 85.43, 98.87) nurses held a more positive attitude towards family participatory nursing. Conclusion Nurses at home and abroad have a positive attitude towards family participation in nursing. At present, there is research on the attitude and influencing factors of family nursing participation among nurses in China. It is suggested that domestic scholars should carry out corresponding investigations and studies to provide references for the construction of relevant policies and measures, training programs, and relevant curriculum education in China.
