Objective:To evaluate the status quo of humanistic care of clinical nursing staff, and analyze its influencing factors to provide theoretical basis for improving the humanistic care ability of clinical nursing.Methods:The self-compiled questionnaire on the knowledge, attitude and practice of humanistic care of clinical nursing staff was adopted in June to July 2019 to select 2 136 nurses from five first-class tertiary general hospitals in Shandong province by random sampling method for the status survey.Results:The total score of humanistic care knowledge and practice of clinical nurses was 259.54±33.55, and the standard score was 82.39±10.65. Single factor analysis showed that the total score of humanistic care knowledge, credit and practice was statistically significant for clinical nurses with different gender, age, fertility status, relationship with parents, employment reasons, initial education background, department, working years, professional title, position, employment mode and night shift frequency ( t value was -2.604, F values were 2.667-23.692, all P < 0.01). Pearson correlation showed that in the pairwise correlation analysis of knowledge, belief/attitude and behavior dimension, there was positive correlation and the correlation coefficient ( r values were 0.638, 0.431, 0.560, all P < 0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice total score of clinical nursing staff on humanistic care were the relationship between the parents, employment way, night shift frequency, fertility status, and the employment reason, the initial degree, department, position ( β values were -0.132-0.126, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The current situation of humanistic care knowledge and practice of clinical nursing staff is in the middle level. Relationship with parents, position, night shift frequency, fertility status, employment reasons, initial education background, department, and employment mode are the factors that affect the current situation of humanistic care, knowledge, attitude and practice of clinical nurses. Therefore, medical institutions should adopt targeted and focused training methods and intervention measures to improve the level of nursing staff′s knowledge, faith and practice from the aspects of different influencing factors of clinical nursing staff′s humanistic care.
