Profiles of humanistic practice ability in psychiatric nurses: a latent profile analysis and associated factors
By Chen Y, Sun M and Chen G.
Abstract
Objectives
To identify latent profiles of humanistic practice ability among psychiatric nurses using latent profile analysis and to examine factors associated with profile classification.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted on the humanistic practice ability of 639 psychiatric nurses using a convenience sampling method. Latent profile analysis and multivariate logistic regression were employed to analyze the data.
Results
Psychiatric nurses' humanistic practice ability was classified into three latent profiles, Low-Level Humanistic Practice Profile (29.9%), Moderate-Level Humanistic Practice Profile (57.3%), High-Level Humanistic Practice Profile (12.8%). Years of working, emotional intelligence, and job stressors were significantly associated with classification in different latent profiles (P < 0.05).
