To explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affected nursing associate work, training and well-being experiences.
Cross-sectional survey.
A survey of trainee and newly qualified nursing associates was completed in July 2020. Closed responses were analysed using descriptive statistics with inferential comparisons made between community and secondary care settings. Open questions were analysed thematically.
Sixty-four participants responded. Over half (53.2%) experienced an increased workload with 24.2% reporting extensions in their role. One third (32.3%) were redeployed, and a quarter (24.2%) did not feel safety concerns were adequately addressed when raised. Those working in the community reported significantly more concerns about staffing (p = .03), working overtime (p = .03), missed care (p = .02) and safety (p = .04). Despite this, many (75.8%) participants felt able to provide the same standards of care. Several spoke about enhanced teamwork, and the majority (96.8%) were not looking to leave their post.
探讨 COVID-19 大流行如何影响护理助理的工作、培训和福祉体验。
横断面调查。
2020 年 7 月对实习护理助理和新合格护理助理进行了一项调查。使用描述性统计对封闭式回答进行了分析,并对社区和二级保健环境之间进行了推断性比较。对开放式问题进行了主题分析。
64 名参与者做出了回应。超过一半(53.2%)的人工作量增加,24.2%的人报告其职责延长。三分之一(32.3%)被重新部署,四分之一(24.2%)的人表示,当提出安全问题时,他们认为这些问题没有得到充分解决。在社区工作的人报告说,在人员配备(p = 0.03)、加班(p = 0.03)、护理不足(p = 0.02)和安全(p = 0.04)方面,他们的担忧明显更多。尽管如此,许多人(75.8%)仍认为能够提供相同标准的护理。一些人谈到了增强的团队合作,大多数人(96.8%)不打算离开其岗位。
