Abstract
Objective To explore the ability of clinical nursing students responding to influenza by questionnaire to give scientific data for increasing this ability. Methods Questionnaire, including individual information, the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards influenza, was given to clinical nursing students in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The KAP was described by descriptive analysis and the risk factors for the KAP score was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results This study involved 278 clinical nursing students from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The average score of KAP was 16.05 ± 9.91. The results of multiple linear regression showed that the KAP score has high positive correlation with the department, the duration of practicing, the information source of influenza prevention or control, and influenza individuals (P< 0.01). Conclusions The ability of clinical nursing students towards influenza is not satisfying. The Hospital and Medical schools should pay much attention on training. The hospitals should take their clinical advantages, analyze the KAP risk factors and design scientific interference to strengthen education, which will urge clinical nursing students paying more attention to influenza, increasing their responding ability and decreasing the case rate. Key words: Students, nursing; Influenza; Risk factors; Knowledge, attitude and practice
