Article Abstract
Aim: To investigate paediatric surgical nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: A 34-question survey was developed. An electronic version of the questionnaire was distributed to nurses working in paediatric surgical departments of 22 tertiary hospitals from 14 provinces of China by means of convenience sampling from February to April 2021. A total of 855 nurses' data was used as the final sample. The statistical analysis included nonparametric test, Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression.
Results: There is still room for improvement regarding the KAP of paediatric surgical nurses, especially in the knowledge of "postoperative recovery" and "preoperative preparation". The influencing factors of KAP were educational level, geographical region (South, Central, North, Northwest), years of work experience, hospital category (general hospital, women and children's hospital), and familiarity with ERAS.
