| Popis: | Background: In the education of nurses and midwives, the greatest emphasis is put on practical skills as the most important element of vocational competences. Education in the sphere of widely understood interpersonal communication and effective team interdisciplinary cooperation is getting equally important. It also accounts for important complementation of practical skills. Exploration of factors influencing the attitude towards learning communicative competence in a group of nurses undertaking specialization training. Methods: In the cross-sectional survey study 969 professionally active nurses from various regions of Poland took part. The respondents were divided into two groups, depending on the specialization training completed (“anaesthesiological, intensive care medicine and emergency medicine nursing” vs. “geriatrics, long-term and palliative care nursing”). The voluntary, anonymous survey was conducted with the use of CSAS questionnaire. A comparative analysis of the results for the two examined groups of nurses was performed with the use of the t-Student test. The scale of the effect for the observed mean variation was estimated with the use of d Cohen coefficient. Results: The examined nurses manifested a positive attitude towards learning communicative competence, however, a statistically significant difference in the context of the specificity of the ward was observed. The age of nurses had a negative influence on the analysed variables. Also, a correlation between high self-esteem of the possessed communicative skills and a high CSAS result was noted. Conclusions: The nature of the ward, time of hospitalization, as well as age and education of the personnel influence shaping the attitudes of the nursing personnel in the applicability of communicative competence in their professional practice. |
