Abstract

Narrative nursing is a popular research topic at present. However, studies focusing on intern nursing students, the main force of future nursing talent teams, remain limited and research in this area is relatively scarce. This study aims to investigate narrative-based nursing knowledge, attitudes and behaviour among nursing interns, and analyse its influencing factors; and further explore the effects of narrative-based nursing intervention on their humanistic care ability.
This study was a quasi-experimental design and a two-stage process was employed. Firstly, a cross-sectional survey was conducted via a convenience sampling method to select nursing interns at a university from September 2020 to August 2021. A total of 260 interns voluntarily completed the survey, with 252 valid questionnaires. Secondly, a quasi-experiment study was performed from August 2021 to December 2021. Totally 35 interns voluntarily participated this study, which was carried out over a period of 8 weeks.
The scores of narrative-based nursing knowledge, attitude and behaviour among interns were (24.54 ± 4.57), (32.14 ± 4.17) and (28.86 ± 5.33), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that liking degree of nursing profession and gender were the main factors affecting the scores of narrative nursing attitude, knowledge and behaviour among interns (p < 0.05). The total score of humanistic care ability among interns after narrative-based nursing intervention had increased by 12.34 points compared with that of interns before the intervention (t = -3.148, p < 0.05).
Undergraduate interns had good knowledge and attitudes toward narrative nursing, but their practice was at the mid-low level. Their humanistic care ability improved after receiving the narrative nursing intervention. Nursing educators and nursing managers should further strengthen the cultivation of nursing students' narrative nursing-related knowledge and attitudes and focus on improving interns narrative nursing practices.
